Well after mine and rippers escapde of last weekend I finally got a Marine dealer to take a look at --- it's only a hundred miles to my nearest marine dealer --- pleaded and begged then to let me stay until they got it going again,,,but no,,,we try to have it done by next Thursday --- barely in time to make Kens tourney and take the wounded warriors out on Sunday... so alias I drive back to work as I had taken a half a day off to get it there...They call a couple hours later and say your boat is all ready come and get it anytime
so there goes another tank of gas
The mechanic told me I had two problems,,,the fuel filter after the pump wasn't letting enough gas to get thru,,,ok the filter is a year and half old so maybe its a really really micro fine filter. And now the second and biggest problem,,,,your sparks plugs were in backwards --- doooohhhhhhh --- uh they only have threads on one end dip (bad word) how ya gonna screw em in the other way....Well you see Evinrude's spark plugs (Champions) are indexed,,,you have to go thru 2 or 3 dozen so that you can find 3 that the gap faces the injectors to get it right.
So a couple hundred bucks later I found out that it takes a rocket scientist to change the plugs on my motor----uh wait I've been a rocket scientist and left that field of Endeavor (no pun intended). Moral of the story, if ya aint a watch repairman,,dont screw with you watch.
