Engine won't start?


Recommended Posts

I have the same issue with my port engine - 225 SWS. The engine stalled underway and I got is started a few times for a few seconds but then it would stall again. Now it justs turns over, no compution at all.

Mechanic thinks it is a 10 micron filter buried in the power head. Said he's done a couple this year with the same symptoms.

I was in Edgartown over the weekend and the two launch boats were down due to water in the fuel. I did fuel up but the problem didn't start until after I burned of about 60 gals. Still, it makes me wonder.

Problem fixed! I had checked all the filters including the VST filter on the pump.

I checked for spark and none of the wires had spark. I thought this myight be caused by the Crank sensor, (all my coils wouldn't go bad at once), switched it with my other motor, still nothing hapened and the other engine still turned on.

Checked my fuses, the big 80 amp block ones on the side, turns out one of the connectors was dirty. cleaned it out just b/c i was there, I didn't think it could be that simple and the engine turned on. It apears that it just didn't get enough juice to start.
