Hello Jeff: There is just no way Seafoam or any other magical band aid will allow your near new motor to run. Seafoam and Sta-bil are great to use in an engine that's in running condition for maintenance purposes. I'm assuming all the "basics" have been addressed. On a recent trip to the Eastern Sierras, I stumbled across a family attempting an after noon outing in a small skiff with a near new Tohatsu 4hp outboard motor. They had been attempting to start it for a half hour. After watching their technique for a few minutes, it was apparent it wasn't going to start at all. Maybe they would have been willing to try Seafoam at that point, but long story short, I gave it a try and four pulls later, they were off and running. Perhaps a trip to the dealer would save you a lot of frustration. Oh, the gas in the cylinder...that would probably darken the plug a little more. Good Luck, Bill Larson, M17 #632 "JoEllen"

I inspected the plug and (mind you i am no mechanic) it looked a bit oily for such a new engine... i have probably less than 10 hours on it in a years time... the plug was not crusty or anything, just dark... i emory clothed it clean at the tip and reinstalled it. It seems to me that if i could get it to turn over just a bit it would limp along until the Seafoam started working. What would happen if i put some gas in the spark plug "hole" (told ya i was no mechanic)? Any suggestions? _______________________________________________ http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/montgomery_boats _______________________________________________ http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/montgomery_boats
