Older Chrysler 85HP outboard.....
Brought a battery / jumper cables down to the boat yard. With a lil' work, I was able to find out that it is not seized, it has spark....
Must have pretty decent compression because when the plugs are in, its having a hard time turning over, even when connected via jumper cables to my car's engine.
Any ideas? My next attempt was goign to try and spray some starter fluid in each spark plug hole and then try to start it up.
What would be making it so hard to turn over? Too long of jumper cables?
