I had previously asked questions about my 93 Johnson 30hp outboard. It was having ignition problems where it would run fine then when it would warm up it would cut back to 1800 rpm and below. Well turns out it was a wire that was worn through and finally broke. So the shop installed a new CDI system and I took it out, it ran good. When I got back to the ramp to load the boat it died and would not start. Today after inspecting the wire block had vibrated loose and one of the studs had come completly out causing the block to "breath". I replaced the stud and tightened the others but the motor still wont start. It has fuel, fire and will hit enough to kick the starter out but will not run. Any ideas?

Check the flywheel. If it is loose, like if the key sheared off, the crank will spin inside it, and not give the shaft enough momentum to cycle the pistons. I had the symptoms you described on an old evinrude, and that was the problem.

I'm sorry, I know this was a serious question, but...
"Problem with 30hp Johnson, again?"
made me laugh, it sounded like a sexual problem
I apologize once again for my mind going to its dirty place
