So, I have not started the fault finding yet because of a prior commitment but thought I would ask the forum for advice.
Half tank of fresh fuel from two weeks ago, new distributor cap, plugs and leads 25 hours ago.
I got up on plane with 4 adults and child, an hour after engine started, at 3700 rpm or so my port engine suddenly died. No alarms visible on smart craft other than Port Lo Speed.
Dropped anchor, opened hatch, nothing is visible at all - I was hoping it was a fan belt failure. No fuel smell, nothing visible electrical failure, cutout switch looks ok.
When I try to start it almost catches but then will not fire up.
Any ideas where to start looking when I get back tonight?
