[QUOTE="Blake., post: 367707, member: 15296"] Ok guys so I just picked up this early 90's? Model mariner eight. It is a 2 stroke 2 cylinder. Guy has had it sitting in his shed for several years. To begin with I thought I was having fuel problems. the engine would run for 10 seconds or so but only after i pulled it 18 times... so I took the carb apart, cleaned everything, twice just to make sure and put it back together. Motor still wouldn't stay running. That carb is clean. Spark plug were getting wet. Then I checked the spark. No spark. Oh wait, there it is! Nice an blue and pretty, oh wait and no more spark... Any pointers on what could be the cause of an intermittent spark? I tried to add a picture of the engine but it says its too big. Engine looks nearly showroom. It is in excellent shape cosmetically.
