What's your picture posting problem?

You figured it out not long ago

I would say that all of us with older boats have had a kill switch jiggle problem at one time or another.  First thing to look at in crank but no start situations on these boats.  And I keep a spare kill switch lanyard in the tool box.

Congrats on the good news!  Would be great if you can figure out a few pictures.

Ether ....... don't do it.  Just don't.  Not on a gas engine.

Best use is to have one person crank the engine while person #2 gives it a quick spray.  With the engine cranking the Ether is diluted into more cylinders.  IF it does not fire instantly on Ether you have no spark.  Don't spray more ether, fix it.

I have seen engines blown up by starting fluid.  Pistons Fractured, Piston Rings Broken, the best one I saw the guys car would not start, he sprayed a bunch of starting fluid in the intake and when he hit the key to crank it the entire Inake Manifold exploded right off the top of the engine.  Good Stuff but extremely dangerous if not careful in application.   I keep two cans around all the time, use when needed.  Carefully.   My old generator only runs once or twice per year.  A small snort of Ether has it starting on the first try almost every time.

Remember your Red check engine light thread, I know you do, so go back to that and read the directions on posting pictures with IMGBB. Make sure you watch the video and watch it at 1/2 speed, it makes it easier to follow.

You posted pictures in that thread, maybe with IMGBB or maybe with the site method so we know you can do it.

It's easier than flying an airplane.................. and a whole lot easier than landing one and it almost as easy as changing your oil pressure switch 

One thing........... if you hit the space bar after you paste the code, then paste the next code you'll have separation between the pictures instead of looking like one run on picture

It may be pretty but I see some issues 

That sticker on the flame arrestor cover with those wrinkles is an eyesore even though it probably came with the wrinkles from the factory ( or maybe it's just an age thing), and the peeling sticker on the raw water strainer is hideous.

And your fuel pump could use a little touch up paint. Same for the ignition coil.

That knocks you down to a 9.0 from the panel of judges. It was 9.5's across the board with a 6.0 from the Russian judge dragging the score down.  

And in case you're wondering if somebody advertises "PCM black touch up paint" click on the link

I don't think I believe their description that says 

Something I am sure of though, if you had a pair or mini flush cut pliers like in the link below, that ugly zip tie end wouldn't be hanging out like that., it would be........flush

Some places even advertise them as mini flush cut zip tie pliers 

You'll find various different brands and prices for these spiffy little things
