I'm in need of help getting a '84 75hp mercury running. My son bought a '84 Bass Tracker Tournament TX and everything worked on the boat and trailer. Motor cranked and ran fine then we decided to change the water pump and plugs and now we can't get it to start. The boat had set for about 5 to 6 years and he was able to buy this boat for $200 (great deal). I know that there is some little thing that I can do to get the motor to run but I'm stumped as to what without adjusting what I just need to leave alone. Any and all help is appreciated.:confused:
