Like a bad plug or something or water in the gas. Then will not start<br />1999 Force 120<br />new plugs and each has fire even after this starts happening<br />fresh fuel with stabilizer and water out in it<br />carbs were taken apart and cleaned good by me about two mths ago and it has run good untill last weekend<br />good compression 150psi +-<br /><br />I know the water pump is weak but not bad and will be replacing it this weekend. Do these motors shut down when they start getting a little too warm or could the power pack or stator be the problem? <br />My thoughts were if it was the stator or the power pack then I would get no fire to the plugs.
