so went ashore on the dingy yesterday , engine has been running fine went to start it again , no firing so rowed back . so we have got spark new fuel any ideas welcome , pulled carb bits all looks fine . HELP
yes wetNew plug first, might not be firing under pressure.
Is the plug wet when pulled? If not no fuel getting there.
vents on tank fine plug not soaking , i will have to buy a plug and 2 stroke. i dont see a filterI agree try a new plug but how good is the spark? It should be good enough to jump an air gap of about 10mm.
Fuel flow OK? Filter clear? Tank vent open and unobstructed ?
2 stroke or 4 stroke ? Some of the jets in 4 stroke carbs are very tiny and easily blocked.
If you can steal a compression gauge do a compression test.
If plug is excessively wet with fuel it may be flooding.
ITYWF that its part of the fuel tap, sticking up inside an integral tank, or its on the bottom of the pick up tube inside a remote tankvents on tank fine plug not soaking , i will have to buy a plug and 2 stroke. i dont see a filter

Surely a typo?
NOTE. Yes it is a typo. Just read a post on another thread by VicS
At a first guess I'd say NGK BP6HS, or the suppressed version BPR6HS gapped at 0.040" ( 1.0mm)
or one of the pre-gapped ones BP6HS-10 BPR6HS-10. (-10 indicates that it is supplied gapped to 1.0mm)
