    1996 Sugar Sand Mirage Won’t fire

    Just bought the boat ( july 2020). After gasing up at the dock, I put it in reverse and it almost immediately shut off. Will crank but not fire up. Sprayed ether in the carbs but did not get ignition. Sound familiar to anyone? Ran great the previous weekend.

    Blaw.

    Went out today and couldn't idle again AT ALL! Brought it home, did a compression test; 110-125-125-125. Plugs were black as hell and wet, so I cleaned them up, and boom, idle again BUT.... WTH is the high pitched chirping sound when throttling?
