Anyone ever have a plug wire vibrate loose? My Yammie was really hard to start a few times the other day... (almost called Sea Tow a couple of times) but after cranking and cranking, it would finally start and run perfectly once it started... I thought maybe I had water in the fuel or some other problem but when I checked it out, I found one plug wire had gotten just a little loose and the metal contact in the wire cap wasn't connected to the plug like it should be... pushed it back on and now the motor seems to start at the touch of the key... I'm still not sure that was the problem...sounds too simple... any one else ever experience the same thing?

Wanna race?
One a serious note, I did have a plug wire come loose on a 3 horse Johnson one time. Never figured that one out either.

Is it tomorrow there, or yesterday? I get so confused. It is today here. I think.
I need more coffee. Who gets up at 5 AM just to hear that Juan has a wire loose? Like we didn't know that?
