Re: 1966 merc 950

Well I ran it out of the old gas and put new gas oil and sea foam in... The motor roared to life and stayed idling since my last post.. I turned it off let it sit for a min and hit the key.. Motor roared to life again and went back to idling... Cables only got hot when trying to start with just battery... But stayed cool with jumpers hooked to it... This is picture of battery I have and my boat

Is the motor starting faster now?

Yes it starts way faster now.. But I have to have the juice to make it happen and it seams that the battery I have is to small or something....

So I let the motor rest for about 5 hours tried starting again and now my motor won't run... I am at a freaking loss on this thing right now... Any help would be appreciated....
