Great topic! I had some trouble with my outboard motor not starting a few months back. Turned out, the fuel line was clogged, so now I make sure to check it regularly and use fuel stabilizers when storing the motor.
Another common issue I’ve faced is overheating. In my case, the water pump impeller was worn out, so I had to replace it. Now I always keep an eye on water flow when the motor’s running—if it’s weak, it’s usually time to check the impeller or intake for blockages. Regular maintenance really helps avoid those headaches!
