Hey guys,
I haven't been on in forever as I've been remodeling my house. Because of the remodeling, the boat has sat for almost 3 months. Just last week, I started the boat and it ran just like new. However, that is not the case with the generator. It cranks for about 15 seconds and then stops.
I spoke to my generator guy and he says that it is most likely the ethanol fuel that collects the water and seperates the fuel. He suggest that I spray starter fluid into the air intake while cranking the generator. Is this a good way to go?
Would it be wise to change the spark plugs as well?
Thanks.
