"This 200 hp evinrude is a bit

"This 200 hp evinrude is a bitch to start if unused for more than a few days. It starts, coughs and dies again and again and you fiddle around with the gas injection, (key switch depress) and throttle and finally it agrees to keep running and is fine.By that time you collect a crowd of advisers.
I squeeze the bulb until rigid and then some.
If only left for a day its pretty OK.
The temp. here is never less than 80 degrees F by the way.
Is this normal?"

"i would change the primer bulb ,and make sure your primer hoses are clean and clear,and that primer,and primer sys is wk'ing right...also,a ck of the quick start sys is in order.a thorough tune up is also advised,along w/de-carb.plugs should be champions,QL78YC gapped at .030."
