Problems with outboard.. can anyone help?

sounds like it might be locked up same problems when a piston siezes up

were going to check it out real good tonight. Yes, I could have possibly sucked mud up the water intake (river) but my water stream never stopped or looked affected (i watched it close). My fuel hose has been giving me some problems, I replaced it 2 years ago and put an inline filter on it. But its had a few leak problems around the filter that I shortened and fixed on the river the same day.

Take the plugs out and see if it will crank over. When it cranks over you can check for spark at the plug wires. my guess would be a fuel line or fuel pump is bad. I'll be happy to look at it if you're around Taylorsville Lake sometime.
