I just pickup my first river boat. It has a Force 9.9hp outboard. I took
it to the river and no go!!....I seems to be getting plenty of fuel....pulled the plugs it was flooded cleaned them real good there fairly new plugs. Checked for spark and it doesn't appear to be any. Its real real clean under the cover all wires intact, great grounds, clean good connections. Where do I check what do I do? Tim Fisher |

Is there a dead man switch? Is it set to run?

Thanks for your reply!! I took the whole motor apart and cleaned absolutely
everything internally and externally. The motor was NOT corroded at all but I still went through the motions. I put it all back together...new plugs safety switches all correct...and still nothing. After of literally about and hour staring and touching everything I realized the throttle didn't feel right when it was on the start indicator so I slowly turned in counter clock wise until it caught in a groove....and pulled the cord...PUFF PUFF smoke, where there is smoke there is fire!!! 2 more pulls and it fired off!!!!!...I grabbed a garbage can filled it with water dropped it in the can and ran it for about 5 minutes. It smoked terribly but ran great! Apparently the throttle jumped a tooth on the gear. I appreciate you responding I was lost for quite awhile. Tim Fisher "Paul" wrote in message ps.com...
