I believe I said start with the basics.<br /><br />Remove and examine the sparkplugs.<br />Test for a strong spark on each plug.<br />Check compression on each cylinder.<br />Check for fuel delivery to the cylinders.<br /><br />Report back with the findings and then more targeted advice can be given.

on a jet outboard how do you tell if it is getting enough fuel, should the colling water still come out of the water out let, also how do you flush a jet?85 hp chry.
