New to forum, own a 1994 Mercruiser 5.0 LX carbureted by Rochester quadrajet 4bbl. new mechanical fuel pump, fuel lines, plugs, wires, cap, rotor, and battery last year. new carb kit this winter. good fuel. battery reading 13 volts while cranking.
started normally and ran fine about 2 months ago, then i changed the impeller about 5 weeks ago and it has sat. today i went out to start and it did the normal randomly fire but never started. I let it sit for a few minutes and tried again but never fired. attempted start with starting fluid and new fuel yet still no fire. seems like a spark issue to me.
have not pulled plugs or verified spark yet. seems odd that it wanted to start but then it stopped firing. i have never had an issue with starting even before i replaced all of the parts mentioned above. could i have flooded it? maybe charge battery and retry? open to any suggestions
