    Battery not charging slow cranking

    I took the boat out this weekend and while trying to start it the flywheel spun slow making about a 1/4 of a revolution at a time. It felt way too slow to start the motor. Then it just spun fast enough (out of no where) and started up. (1988 85 hp) I took it for a spin and shut it down for a...

    1988 85 hp Force Stalling when accelerates

I brought it to a mechanic and he ordered parts to replace after finding that the 3rd cylinder wasn't sparking. Fuel...
