Hey guys, I'm hoping you can help me out here as I know absolutely nothing about motors.
I have a 1978 25HP Chrysler Outboard model #256H8C. Last weekend out on the water it worked on the way out, but when we tried to change locations, I was unable to start the motor. I was messing with the motor trying to get it started today, and decided to change out the spark plugs. Once I replaced the spark plugs, it seemed like it was almost starting, so I decided to see if both were sparking. Well, only one is sparking. So, I'm guessing that I found why the motor won't start. Um, how do I fix this?
Also, at first when I turned the key, it seemed like the starter motor couldn't turn whatever its supposed to turn, so I pulled the starter rope out until it rotated a bit, then when I turned the key, the starter motor was able to get the motor to turn over.
Thanks,
