My 1988 40 hp Evinrude has trouble starting & sometimes it won't start at all (at least I quit trying before it does). But if it does start, it runs flawlessly for the rest of the day even if I cut it on and off. So the initial start is the only problem. I've been starting it the same way for years and this has only developed in the last year or two, so I don't think it's human error (choking it too much, etc.)
I don't know much about these things, but I thought about running a carburetor cleaner through it. Is this is a good idea? If so, what kind should I buy? If not, what should I do?
Thanks..."
