"iv a merc 650 3 cyl built in
"iv a merc 650 3 cyl built in oz, early 80,s "I think".....problem i have is that its really hard to start each time, I always have to resort to lots of easy start, and i know thats not good!......the engine has good compression and plenty of spark, once it starts its fine,its just getting it to start thats the problem.......all the rest is fine plenty of batt power,starter mtrs fine and the elec choke is all good..
once you have it running and its hot you can switch off and it will start again no probs, its just when its cold its a bugger!!
also would just like to check the fuel oil ratio 50:1?
Iv always used good clean fuel and quaily oil.
I have just put a new fuel filter on,,, but no luck its still a hard starter.........
ive had suggestions.......either lean fuel or ignition timing!
can anyone help
kind regards
