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

There is a water filter within the engine housing, if that's full it won't start, I had this happen on my 150 optimax also, is the fuel fresh?

Thanks for reply Martin.  Whereabouts is this filter? Have changed fuel box filters and tested pumps. Not sure what you mean. Thanks mike

Is there a waterproof multi pin plug where the electric services come to the motor. Does it need a clean and the wd40 treatment?

Is this a 2-smoke?

 

If so, is it low on oil? dose the oil level sensor think it is low on oil?
