I was out in the boat today and my 115 johno 77 model wouldn't start to get me home. The motor starts fine when cold but gets harder to start as the day goes on. Today I was jigging for squid in Swansea channel with a cross wind so the drift was short thefore the motor was started many times and the boat speed really didn't reach over 15knots.The battery is fine and the fuel bulb is hard.The motor wants to start but with maybe one cylinder firing.
Anyway Igot a tow back to the ramp( thanks to the bloke in the 10' tinny,onya mate) got the boat home and the bloody thing started frist kick.
any advice would be great. thanks. :-/
