Check your battery, check the gas, check that the plug is in, and before engaging the big motor, do as Nofearengineer does........

MississippiBoy · 06-01-09, 10:06 PM

Ok, then....either JB or NoFear, you gotta spill the beans.
Wow, popular thread...

nofearengineer · 06-01-09, 10:11 PM

LOL, okay, okay. I'll tell ya before JB makes me out to be a total doofus!

The morning I showed up at the Event, JB offered to back me in at the state ramp. When he did, I turned the key, and NADA but the starter turnin the crank.

I thought maybe the fuel wasn't gettin to it, so I pumped on that bulb for what seemed like half an hour, but it still didn't fire. I was totally puzzled, since the thing usually starts up like a dream.

It turns out I had knocked my kill switch lanyard loos climbing into the boat, and once I put it back in place, it lit right up. I was thinkin to myself, "oh god...now JB is gonna think I'm the village idiot..." I had never had occasion to use the kill switch before, but at least now I know it works, lol.

Christopherkeene9 · 06-01-09, 10:42 PM

JB that's great

HA!! You done that on your own.

Before I get on you to bad the Bassinbandit belongs to that club also. A couple of years ago we rolled into a cove up he jumps up taking his life jacket off and slinging it down. When we went to leave, won't start " Adam check your kill switch," - " it wouldn't turn over if it was unhooked." well 15 minutes later I tell him again and guess what it started after he hooked it back up.
So you got company.

MississippiBoy · 06-01-09, 10:46 PM

Been there, done that, NoFear. Except I was out in the middle of the lake, and either pulled it a little, bumped it, whatever. A friend of mine towed me to shore, and we spent the next 10-15 minutes checking fuel lines, throttle cables, pulled out the spark plugs...
Finally somebody said "What about the kill switch?" I said "No, it couldn't be that simple. I'm not that stu....."

Apparently, I am that stu.....

1/4 stick · 06-01-09, 11:05 PM

Man, if I ever take my kid to tweetsy railroad I'm gonna be look for nofear the whole time.

bamabassman · 06-01-09, 11:05 PM

cassidyta · 06-01-09, 11:37 PM

I have had the kill switch be an issue for me as well. This occured in a rental. I had it clipped to my sweatshirt. Well as it heated up that day, I took off that shirt and put my PFD back on. about an hour later, we were heading up to the dam when the engine stopped cold.
I tried to start it over and over again with no luck. It wasn't until my partner asked what that thing in the water was that I looked over to see my slowly sinking shirt 30 yards back.

Bubba_Bruiser · 06-02-09, 05:29 PM

Toot Toot That's funny stuff right there, I don't care who you are. We always need a Carl from Slingblade. Remember when they were trying to crank the lawnmower and working on it. Ole Carl walks up and says, "Checked the gas yet? mmmmmm hmmmm" I be darn Carl, you deserve some fench fried tators.
