" I bought a 1983 40 hp Mercur
" I bought a 1983 40 hp Mercury late in season this year. The question I have is this. When you choke it and turn over it turns over way to slow almost like your battery is dead. When it fires but is not running it turns over alot easier. I was wondering if anyone ever experienced this problem. It almost seems to me like a car engine when the timing is to far advanced and you turn it over warm. It will start but turn over very slow. Is it possible that the timing is off, starter problem, or any other ideas. Thanks for any advice or knowledge anyone has.Oh it is a model 1402T 1983 40 hp Merc. "
