Gang -
I have a 5 hp, four-stroke that I have tried to start for the first time this year. It won't start.
The motor is fairly new (three years), but it hasn't been used in two years. Before I stored it (inside) I ran it dry of fuel and emptied the remote tank. I have fresh fuel in the remote tank, and when I pull I don't even get a "cough". I pulled the plug (looks OK), made sure the kill clip is engaged, and have tried it w/ and w/o choke, and on slow and fast throttle, and there is fuel in the filter (showing that my prime bulb is working). The indicator light does glow red briefly when I pull.
Any ideas before I pull my arm out of its socket? Thanks in advance for your help!
