I can tell you the first thing everybody is going to say is be more specific. Does it even try to fire?

Do you have bad fuel?
Are your spark plugs OK?
Check your fuel filter for water.
Check all your in-line fuses on the motor.
Check for defective plug wires.
When you finish and eliminate these 5,I will give you 5 more.

I was out from the Light House one time and mine wouldn't start...I tried and tired.....I was thinking....hmmmm...I knew I should have joined TowBoat.....then I realized that I had accidentally pulled the kill switch...just something else to add to the check list. Good Luck!

Don't sound good! Do the other things JT51 told you aboout and if that doesn't fix...consider professional help i.e. the marine mechanic! Sorry, man.

Reggie, There's a LOT more we can tell him wrong before he goes to the shop!
We just need a little more details before we can steer him down the wrong way

Been there on the kill switch. Tried to start the tracker for 30 mintues one time.

derrrr...... That only happens once though. Check the kill switch everytime now.
