1979 Evinrude 85hp 85999R

was running great started right up ect. Then I got stranded, it ran out of gas. A week later. All I did since then put gas in and rebuilt starter. Now when I go to crank it, it just turns over sprays a mist of water out the 2 holes on back, makes a loud pop, sounds like when a car back fires and smoke pours out of the prop. THis is being done on muffs. Any ideas?
good spark
compression 125 all 4
pump fuel bulb it gets hard and fuel is coming out the other end.

has: 4 new coils, new wires, new pluigs, new fuel pump, fuel lines and bulb, power packs, solenoid, and rebuilt starter.

Re: Will not start

sheared woodruff key, flywheel/crankshaft. throws motor out of timing. will have to pull flywheel, and get a Johnson/evinrude woodruff key, not a hardware store one.

you have to have a harmonic balancer puller, some auto parts store loan or rent them. you also need #8 hardened bolts that fit the holes in the flywheel.

Re: Will not start

Thanks for the quick response. Do you by chance know what size and length bolts I need?
