my 98 225hp optimax wont start. it has happened before and i replaced the fuel pump in the casing and i got it to start, i used it for a few days then let the boat sit for about a week and i tried to start it up but she wouldnt go. to try to diagnose the problem i replaced the spark plugs and got a new battery 1000 cranking power. i know that its getting spark since my dad sprayed ether in the air intake and she fired up for a split second. trying to look for something i released the pressure in the port fuel rail and saw the white little fuel filter fill half way with bubbles coming up i dont know what thats means if anything. but i would love some help.
