I just bought an 85 HP Mercury boat motor.. It's the older tall kind. It's an inline six. It won't start though I put a fresh charged battery to it and tried starting it and it just turned over. Then i sprayed a little gfas in the carbs and it kind of started and then backfired out the exhaust. I did that again and it backfired again. Next I took the plugs out and they were clean but not real wet so I primed each cylinder a little bit and fired it again and it backfired again. Anyone help me out? 10 pts for best answer
