Yes I am pushing key in. It will start after cranking for while and quit. repeat and run little bit quit. after several times will run. I bought boat in April and took to dealer to check. Put power pack and spark plus in. It was running down lake and would shut off. Doesn't do that any more. Runs out great after getting started. First Johnson i've ever owned didn't know if it was just the way they were. I've owned Mercury 40 hp for 13 years. Started easy every time. ThanksAre you pushing the key in and holding it in during cranking ?-----How did the motor run for you last season ?-----What trouble shooting has been done if any.----Are you sure you understand the correct starting procedure ?-----Are you familiar with the operation of the ignition / spark system and fuel system on this outboard motor ?
