motor won't start

good day,
just tried to start motor today after winter storage, no start.
Plugs were really wet, I guess from fogging oil in cylinders.
Not sure but hope it's just in need of new plugs........96 evinrude 70hp.
I put lots of foggin oil in it last fall and lots of fuel stabilizer. The plugs are very wet and although I tried to dry em up I know from previous experience once they get that wet it's hard to get em clean.

Any help??

Thanks
Brian

Did you check your kill switch

I have had this problem in the past.

Take it off and reinstall just to be sure.

When I say kill switch I mean the one you attach to yourself in case you go in the drink... to stop the motor. :wink:

another thing you can check is your primer ball in the fuel line, they get old and the one way valve does not hold after some time, like you said the plugs could be we from the fogging oil. RR

Come on guys, new plugs every spring, not a big expense, plus put a little anti-seize compound on the threads of each plug. A little maintence goes a long way. Check the water level in your batteries will you are at it.
