[QUOTE="DaleH, post: 389442, member: 15636"] 4-stroke? I had a friend hit a rock with a 4-stroke 40hp at idle speeds in FWD ... the prop and skeg don't even show a hit, but he wiped out the entire top-end of the motor due to the use interference valves from the camshaft. Similar situation, motor would start but not run. I sure hope this is NOT your case ... so diagnose the easy stuff. Any onboard in-line fuel filter? Vent open on remote tank? Or try with fuel fill opened. Primer bulb staying firm? [/QUOTE]
