starting issue

« **Reply #25 on:** February 23, 2012, 08:43:09 AM »

When you get the boat back have someone turn the key to start it and use a test light/meter to make sure your getting power through your signal wire to the solenoid and with the key on in the run position make sure your getting power to coil. Sounds like the signal wire may have high resistance or broke. Or possibly there is a fuse in line?

i,ve done my share of wiring...and yha it is simple...i just dont know what could of evan happend....like my prev post one day started fine no issue and the next day no go
i really think a naighbors cat or rackoon or skunk....i know it sounds funny but theres alot around here....got in there when my seats where out ....but still that evan said...i have power at the key ign. start.and batt. and at the terminal block(new and new) and i jump starter and it jumps...jump solenoid and it jumps soooooo cleaned and put new connectors on evrything.....still no go....i just dont get it ...gona order new wire harness but i really dont think thats evan gona work

look at it this way... you bought a used boat, in unknown condition. just to make sure sometimes you just gotta redo things. better to find out NOW than in the middle of the lake when it doesnt start. easy way yo ruin a weekend. you think the wife has problems with the boat now, just wait until she has to paddle for 3 hours to get back to the trailer.

ok new issue...thought i would use the thred cuz its kinda the same issue.... fuel pump workin and carb is getting gas .....i pump the pedel a few times ....and it starts...runs for like 1 min...and then shuts off...had the carb rebuilt a few years ago...and always ran fine....so do i have a float cloged ? is my choke not working

? thanks for any help

« **Reply #37 on:** March 11, 2012, 05:17:47 PM »

ok a lot of questions here let start off with when it starts and runs and then dies it wont restart? or does it start right back up??

« **Reply #38 on:** March 11, 2012, 05:21:29 PM »

it wont restart untill i pump the pedle...then starts agin and the dies.....evan if i keep my foot in the gas it wont stay running

« **Reply #39 on:** March 11, 2012, 05:24:06 PM »

didnt change anything or touch anything on the carb....just replaced the manual fuel pump...

« **Reply #40 on:** March 11, 2012, 05:25:19 PM »

your fuel pump is not pumping right.

« **Reply #41 on:** March 11, 2012, 05:27:18 PM »

start at your fuel lines make sure there is no clogs. you want a nice free flow to the pump.

« **Reply #42 on:** March 11, 2012, 05:33:03 PM »

come on really...another bunk part

i can see it pumping gas through the filter....mabe just not pumping 2 the carb

« **Reply #43 on:** March 11, 2012, 05:41:33 PM »

the only thing i can think of is the new holly pump had bigger inlet and outlet so i had 2 reduce right at the pump...could this be the issue? i need bigger fuel lines?

« **Reply #44 on:** March 11, 2012, 05:42:20 PM »

start it up! as its running look at the filter . when it dies look at the filter if its empty well then you know.

« **Reply #45 on:** March 11, 2012, 05:43:16 PM »

no under a load maybe but not at idle.

« **Reply #46 on:** March 11, 2012, 06:25:43 PM »

fuel pump working 100% pumping way better than the old one....

« **Reply #47 on:** March 11, 2012, 08:45:08 PM »

anything? i dont think its the pump ...and i dont think its the carb....

« **Reply #48 on:** March 11, 2012, 09:11:31 PM »

pull the sight plugs see where the fuel is . adj from there. im thinkin that needle and seat are stuck and that is why it starts when you pump the throttle .

there are things that you can do to remove things it is not.
