I'm so confused. My 2011 Mercury 8hp four stroke ran great last week. I took it out today, and it would not even act like it wants to crank. I did, however, have a few things happen between then and now that may, or may not, have caused this. First, earlier in the week, I pulled the boat out of the garage. I had the fuel tank vent closed, and I noticed gas was was running out of the foot. I looked and the gas tank had plumped up nicely. Today, when I put the boat in the water, the transmission was in forward, and I could not get it to shift into neutral. Because of this, it would not pull start. I had to manually rotate the prop by hand and then it shifted into neutral nicely. I checked that gas was flowing through the fuel line from the tank to engine, I also checked to make sure there was a spark. The engine seemed to have compression. The engine did not do anything to seem like it wanted to start.
Does anyone have any ideas?
