Help please,
We have been trying to help a young man who cannot get his engine to run. The boat has been in the marina and has not been started for about a year. The first thing we did was to charge the starter battery, then we put 25 litres of fuel in the tank. The bleed screw on the top of the first fuel/water filter was removed but no fuel came through. The drain plug on the bottom could not be turned by hand and as it appeared to be made of plastic we did not try to use grips.
Can anyone help with regard to the lack of fuel at the bleed point and how to we turn the drain screw? We have of course opened the fuel valve.
Regards,
Stuart
