Re: Small outboard work
here is the proper way to diagnose your problem..
First off,
New plugs mean nothing- if they are loaded up, they might not fire even when brand new. ... Pull them out and clean them up, and wipe them down so they are dry. That way you are certain.
You say you have compression, but how much?.. 2 stokes will not start with low compression like a 4 stroke will.
If you are certain compression is good, and you now KNOW that the plugs are clean and not loaded up, reinstall the plugs, and give a little squirt of starter fluid or even carb cleaner into the carb. It should start for a second, no matter how bad the carb is. If it does not start and run for a bit, and the compression is good, its a spark problem, and could be whatever triggers that particular motor,- stator/pickup/coils etc... If she starts and runs with a shot of juice into the carb, your main carb jet is clogged, and its all of a half hour job to fix... bob
