Mike toms Posted January 30, 2023 Report Share Posted January 30, 2023 My optimax hasn't been run for a while coz of health problems. Now it won't start. Changed fuel filters and tested fuel pumps. Seem ok. Plugs changed and have a good spark. What else to check? I'm wanting to sale my boat because of lack of money. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gummage Posted February 11, 2023 Report Share Posted February 11, 2023 Is there a waterproof multi pin plug where the electric services come to the motor. Does it need a clean and the wd40 treatment? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
