Not Firing!!!

If ya got spark and wet plugs you gotta be lacking compression, simple formula for combustion you seem to have most of it

Thanks Spaniard, that was my thoughts to but I did a compression test and unless my gauge is busted it read about 112 on the top cylinder and 120 on the bottom cylinder.

Its got plenty of cranking power just no bang

Thgat only leaves spark timing unless you have missed an important part

I am unlikely to be correct.... But have you got enough grunt in your battery?

My Yammie wouldn't start when I first got it.... It kicked over repeatedly, and for ages, so i thought it was ok but when I jumped her the thing fired immediately. There was enough to kick over and sound like it was ok, but not enough to actually start.

Try a jump start?

Blocked Fuel filter? - pull the hose off the outward side and pump the primer bulb - see what happens.......

Although.....re reading your posts - if your plugs are wet - there must be fuel getting through.

Not making sense here - If you have spark and you have fuel - it has to go.....

Try cranking her dry for a few busrts of 10 - 15 secs(no choke, no throttle) then push the key in and try again.

Are you sure there is no kill switch that you just haven't noticed before?

Plugs are wet but I am suspecting fuel....

I am going to check over the fuel system and report back ....

I know what the missing bit is. The Honda badge.

ITS ALIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So this is what I did -

1) Removed the wasps nest so SWMBO could turn the key

2) Put a honda badge on

3) Prayed to the suzuki and honda gods last night before bed time

4) Blew the fuel lines out and emptied the fuel filter bowl thingy and tried a different tank

5) Got SWMBO to turn the key

6) Wammo ITS ALIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't think there was anything in the fuel lines but it might have had some bad fuel from the servo as the second tank was a different servo.

Or it could have been that the boat likes SWMBO better than I which would not be surprising.

Cheers everyone for the help!!!
