That's a cool tool never knew those where a thing.
This would show that I have a good gap? Or good spark? Or both? What should the gap of the plug be? I can easily check that again just to make sure.
Alright it's not flooding anymore. Put new plugs, wires, coil in today. Still will not start. Poured new gas down the carb to try to get it to go still nothing.
Also checked all grounds cleaned and tighten still won't fire off. Did another compression test still the same compression. Unsure...
I just replaced the TKS carb with a standard choke style carb. It is getting fuel. I can smell it and see it on the plugs when cranking for awhile (3x10ish second bursts).
I'm not sure about ignition it does not have points... So if that is EST then yes that is what I have.
Hello all, I have a 2006 mercrusier 3.0l I/O. I have had some issues this season with getting it running correctly... It would run but not go past idle without stalling so I did a carb. Now the boat won't start at all it is most definitely spark-related as it won't fire on starter fluid...
I have spark. I pulled the wires and checked there and pulled the plugs and checked at the plug all have good spark.
The man overboard switch is not tripped I checked that first. Been there before where is would not start.
It doesn't cough. Going to try some start fluid in the am and see if...
When I pump the throttle I get 2 squirts of gas from the carb. I pumped it 5 time cranked and then pumped 5 more times. I repeated until I opt to stop since it wasn't starting. What should the base setting of the mixture screw be for the carb?
New carb came in now the boat won't even try to start I the boat is getting fuel when pumping the throttle it lets fuel into the carb. choke isn't wired yet but it should still start I would think. I also checked for spark, and it has spark, so I am not sure why it won't start. any thoughts...
