Been really busy with work and family life recently and haven’t had time to mess with the boat…
Chris,
Tried your tests this weekend and couldn’t get it running at all… Would crank/fire, but shut right off… I appreciate your (and everyone else’s) input on this, but at this point I need my boat up and running in 3 weeks for a Fishing Tourney my Church is holding. Any chance I can bring it in to Chas. Marine this week for you to look at/work on?
Thanks!

spark sounds good at start up
still don’t know if its losing spark and shutting off (power pack) issue
try squirting some fuel in the carb to keep it running
try covering the carb throat with a rag and see if choking it helps
if you cant keep it running like that, I would be leaning toward losing spark

Well… can’t help you.
Great thanks I’ll bring it in tomorrow.
