Mike toms Posted January 30, 2023 Report 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

Thanks for reply Martin. Whereabouts is this filter? Have changed fuel box filters and tested pumps. Not sure what you mean. Thanks mike Quote
Gummage Posted February 11, 2023 Report 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
Rob Posted February 22, 2023 Report Posted February 22, 2023 thinking it must be as you got spark, hmmmmmmmmmmmm Quote
Rob Posted February 22, 2023 Report Posted February 22, 2023 Is this a 2-smoke? If so, is it low on oil? dose the oil level sensor think it is low on oil? Quote
