[QUOTE="Petras, post: 31371, member: 216"] does it just turn over when ur trying it at the lake? does it act like it's trying to fire at all? Check and make sure the Primer ball is pumped up fairly hard. might not be a bad idea to change the fuel filter... also, just out of pure precaution I would go ahead and replace the water impeller in the lower unit... if it hasn't been run in 3 years that impeller may be dried up and cracked and not pumping water up to the motor and this can cause big problems... biggest thing I would check is make sure your fuel line connections are tight and make sure that the primer ball is nice and firm. [COLOR="silver"][SIZE=1]- - - Updated - - -[/SIZE][/COLOR] also, is it a pull start? or does it have a key and starter? if it has a key and starter then it's likely there is a "kill switch" on it.... you could check this and wiggle it around to make sure it's not keeping the motor from making spark...
