    76 OMC 175 starting

    Oh yeah and I haven't run it without water, I had it submerged in a large tote that was full past the impeller inlet. It just doesn't seem like it runs good with that because the exhaust splashes the water all around so I was hoping I could do something different.

    I've seen that in the manual, but this does not have that. Are those still available to buy?

    Did that, it fired up for a second and backfired. Now it's flooded. Anyone know why my ground wire on the battery starts smoking a tiny bit when trying to start it for more than 10 seconds?

    Not yet. I just took the wire off the distributor and held it near the block while cranking the motor. No spark at all. Wouldn't servicing the points come after getting the coil to spark? I don't know if I mentioned this boat is new to me.

    No, it looks almost identical to what is on this link. https://img.auctiva.com/imgdata/7/2/6/9/2/4/webimg/537762186_tp.jpg I can't seem to be able to load pictures on this forum yet. If you push the button in, it turns when you move the throttle lever.

    I believe so. This boat is new to me, and I can't find much information on it. It's a 76 Fiberform Bowrider stern drive.

    Yes, looking for priming the fuel system. The control only has the throttle lever and what looks like a button that pushes in and out that I believe puts it in neutral. The manuals that I have found don't seem to cover the type of control lever I have, which is strange. I can post of picture of...
