Engine Won't Turn Over
 
Engines started up as normal today, ran them a couple of miles and stopped to talk so shut them off. Immediatley, tried to restart and the starboard engine wouldn't turn over? I was running down the gas to do a couple of speed runs in the morning, but don't think I was that low on fuel. Any ideas? I limped back to the dock on one engine.

need more details, whats it doing, is the starter just clicking(and nothing more), first thing i would do is pull the plugs and try turning over, my have gotten water in your engine, however, need some details, what kinda power? what kinda exaust? lets start with the obvious

We've determined it's either the switch or the pump. No fuel in the carberuator. I'm going to bypass the safety that the rigger put in. I checked the fuse, it's ok. Made us think that its probably not the pump. But I'll know when try to bypass.

and you didn't have 5 spares handy ? you must be new to msd.

Good point. I take it that they don't have a long life expectancy? Mine was only 2 years old.
