The Outboard wont start.
Usual story, "It started last year", as an auxiliary.
Replaced with manufacture recommended plugs, 0.03 gap, new fuel and 50.1 mix, proper outboard oil and carb cleaner as an additive.
(all recommended by local Johnson dealer) BUT!!!! ?100 plus VAT and parts??? for a service. That's hmmm ?200.
Why not buy a 2nd hand outboard that works? My 3 HP Force is almost immaculate, well it has slightly worn decals. Starts hmm 3rd time at the start of every use. Not bad for for 1990 thereabouts.
All I get is prop turning a little (a single turn) and a "BANG" !!!!!!
Any ideas??
