Hi all, I changed the ignition sensor and did the spark plugs. It definitely helped to where it almost started. Recharging the battery overnight and trying again. Attached is the pic of the old plugs.
Found the engine number: 0772085.
Tried starter fluid already too. I am not sure when the boat ran last (before I bought it). Will get a new ignition sensor and change the plugs. Might take a few days though... will update once I swap those parts
Pored fuel into the carb, but she won't start. I do have some spark, but not very strong (see video). I will put new spark plugs in (came with the boat). Then the new sensor if needed.
I sucked out all the old gas and put brand new gas in there. I put the old rotor and cap back on and it still wouldn't fire up. When I tapped the white green wire to mass I got sparks (bottom troubleshooting check).
Def a TB distributor... Op, I assume you verified no spark? I didn't see it mentioned. Also would check all of your connections, that engine looks even rustier than mine.
The distributor came with the boat, not sure what brand it is. Should still have the old one too though. Motor sn 8289732. Yes rotor, not finger. The wires are directly mounted without any screws and connected to the module wires a bit further down. Yes I have 12V at the purple and also the...
Took the distributor off. The finger does turn. I can't attach any wires at the distributor, since it's direct wired. I can't measure any voltage at the coil with ignition on. Is that normal?
Hi all, Bought my first boat and my 4.3 won't start. It turns, got a new ignition coil, new distributor cap, new fuel but she won't fire up. There are 2 cabels that are extra and not attached. Any help is very appreciated. Thanks
