"Hi all. I have a question maybe one of you can answer. I picked up a 1971 7.5 HP Ted Williams. I cleaned the carburator and the unit seems to run OK. I tried it on a 10' fiberglass rowboat and it actually worked a lot better than I anticipated (slow speed, high speed, etc.) The problem I have is that it takes 10 to 15 pulls before it starts; after it starts, if I stop it and try to start it again right away, it will start on 1 to 2 pulls;if I wait a couple of hours, it takes 10 to 15 pull again before it starts. The pump element appeared to be OK and it is installed at 45 degrees. Any suggestions as to why it takes10to 15 pulls?Any suggestions?"
