[Rhodes22-list] Yamaha T9.9 turns but won't start

[Rik Sandberg]

Andrew,

If everything is wet under the bonnet, what may be happening is your 
spark is just following the wet spark plug to ground (the head). Pull 
your spark plug wires and dry them and the wires. See if that helps.

Also, make sure there's no water in your gas. I'd check the tank as well 
as the carb float bowl.
