    1998 GT40 wont start

    Hello Friends,

    I have a 1998 GT40 that has been running great all summer. At the beginning of the summer I did the following maintenance items
    -new battery
    -new oil filter and oil change
    -new plugs and plug wires

    last summer
    -changed the fuel filter in the fuel canister

    As i said the boat has been running great all summer. Last weekend went to the lake boat fired right up off the trailer and i parked it for the evening. The next morning the boat wouldn't start. Here are the key details that i can provide:
    -the battery and starter seemed to be turning over
    -the lanyard / safety switch was checked and it was engaged
    -when i turned the key i could hear fuel being shot into the fuel canister
    -after attempting to start it seemed like it was flooding or there was a strong odor of gasoline


    Any suggestions! It's puzzling to me why it would run so great right of the trailer and all summer and then just not start at all.
Working...
