[QUOTE="Nussy, post: 116625, member: 2148"] I bought this boat without running the motor which I knew I should not have done, but I thought it was a great deal even if the motor didn't work, so it didn't matter at the time. I'm now at a point where I need to know if the motor works so I spent some time trying to get the motor to work last night. Ugh! The gas line leaked so I ordered a new one last week. The gas line I ordered came and the bulb was installed backwards so it wouldn't pump gas up to the engine. Didn't have the hose clamps to fix it so I tried to use the old line to get it running. Took a look at the plugs and they seamed to be clean. Used new gas. Motor turns over but just won't fire up. I can't really tell if it's getting gas. Should I try spraying some starter fluid in the carb? I'm not sure what to try next. I don't know engines very well, so I might have to take to a repair shop. Any ideas on where to start? [/QUOTE]
