Purchase just done on this rig 8 days ago, which has appearance of a boat maybe a year or two old, unmarked with carpet and seats very good shape, 5 brand new tires, same as BCB puts on their new rigs, 3 new batteries. Most accessories are original. Motor ran well using “ears” to run water through to start motor. 200hp Optimax. Guy lived about 2 1/2 hrs. from serviceable lake to try boat out on. Put on Calif. Delta yesterday first time, motor started instantly – moved it around to get away from ramp in reverse then put in forward to go to another dock to pickup friend coming back from taking pickup to parking area. Motor stopped on its own and could not restart. Never had this happen and had an 02 Classic with same motor for 8 yrs with almost zero problems. Turned over after that but did not start nor show indication it was going to start. We had feeling wasnt getting fuel? Im not much re mechanics but local shops cannot get it in for 2 weeks. Any ideas that might give me starting point?
