    2000 model 175 johnson not firing.

    Went fishing for a while this morning, while running to my first spot the motor missed a couple of times at WOT. I idled to a couple of different places and even got on plane on one occasion with no problems. The next time I got on plane the motor cut out real bad then just died. I cranked it one time and it fired but didn't start. Then it hasn't hit a lick since. Any one know what my problem is? Thanks for any help!

    I got a spark tester and checked all 6 wires and I'm getting spark. I guess fuel will be the next culprit. I pulled all the plugs

    The test is best performed when it won't fire, not when its cold.

    I cant get it to start to even get warm. Looks like to be I'm getting fuel and spark. It finally started today when I gave it some gas it started missing and then died. I haven't been able to get it to do much since.

    OK, very basics first, buy a genuine manual for your motor, other wise you are just shooting and hoping.

    Just thought someone would have had the same problem before and might have a good idea of what the problem was. Only had the boat for 2 days before I had the problem. Haven't really had time to buy a manual. It's going back to the dealer to be taken care of. Thanks for your 2 cents.
