Author	Topic:   1999 Ficht 150-HP: Crank, Fire, Stall
Cape Fishing Bill	posted 05-24-2009 10:02 PM ET (US)         I have a 1999 150-HP FICHT engine with all the up dates as of 2002. It has run fine with updates. It now will just: crank, fire, and stall. Repeats time after time. I know I will need to get at the engine codes to see what is amiss but any idea what it could be? No other unusual indications. Thanks for any help!
