Good morning. Situation: Marina, took boat from storage, put it in the water. One engine would not start. Four hours later the second engine would not start. There two GM motors. What could prevent engines from starting after sitting in storage since Sept. 2023 at Grand Isle Marina, Grand Haven MI.? [ 1975 Chris Craft Commander Flush Deck 41]
Grateful,

My first guess is stuck carb floats. When they die, pump the throttle while looking into the carb throat… see any fuel? Try a little, I mean a little starter spray and see if the fuel starts. Also check your dip stick and see if you have and fuel or water in the oil..
Thanks John, for your recommendations. I will do.

Are the shut off valves open?
Tim, thanks. I will check this?
