Spritz a tiny bit of starting fluid into the airbox and see if it will pop off. What kind of pressure (PSI) does the compression test show? How did you check spark? The spark should jump a 1/4 inch gap with ease.

Did you try SeaFoam in the gas? It fixes most small engine problems magically!
Oh, and pull harder and more. |

I havent tried sea foam yet, but will this weekend. Compression if I remember was around 115.
Yes float bowl is full and I bought some new starting fluid to try. The shit I was using was about 5 yrs old. Thanks for the ideas fellas, much appreciated. |

I have the same engine but a year older. When I bought it, the dealer told me to unplug the fuel line as I idle to the boat ramp. Let it run dry, then pull the choke and let the last of the gas burn outta the carb. When you get it running again, do this. I've never had so much as a hiccup outta my outboard.

Try a new Champion plug. I can't believe I'm saying this because I'm a big NGK fan for 2-smokes but I run Champions in all 5 of my OMC's.
