2017 Mercury 20HP EFI Outboard

Ran good last year but sat for 7 months.

I changed the lubes/oil got a new fuel line/bulb.
Changed the plugs
Filled tank with new non ethanol

Battery cranks but engine won't kick on, I think it's not getting gas but I'm no expert.

Any suggestions would be appreciated

MAGA!

Any chance there's a foam air-cleaner in the hood that's plugged?

Same thing happened to my son. Turned out to be something called a stator.

Plugs getting wet?

Last time you ran it , did you use non ethanol fuel ? Is it getting fire ?

Make sure your kill switch isn’t flipped

Always non ethanol Spark plugs are brand new.

^^^^^^^

By flipped you mean came off. No it is attached...If I remember, when my kill switch was off the battery wouldn't crank at all. Might be wrong.

Did you treat the fuel before you put it into storage.

If the kill switch is engaged it will still turn over.

Cycle the kill switch half a dozen times.

My dad has an older bass tracker…

The lanyard can be hooked to the switch, but it can be every so slightly pulled.. it won't crank..

Work it a couple times…

No help here, when my Mercury started messing up, I traded it in on a Honda. I hate working on outboards!!

Same as any engine.

Hit it with some ether, ta see if there's spark.

Then adjust.

Just because the plugs are new doesn’t mean you have fire . Could be the coil . You need to test for fire .

Well I get the dumb fisherman award for the day.. As big dave also said. The lanyard was on but the clip was loose and not fully engaged...

Hope thats it but I'm off the water now so try again soon.

Thanks a million for all your help...Tree

MAGA!

Glad you got it worked out. Calvin said it too, haha

Yep, that's a common one, and really frustrating for those who deal with it.

Use that safety lanyard, a prop can kill/
