Hi guys,
I have a 1998 200 Jonhson which I have trouble starting after it seats for a day or two. I pump the bulb until is hard and then crank, it takes more than 4 or 5 tries to start, I take it easy on continued cranking (10-15 seconds at the time) to avoid draining the battery or burning the stater, then it finally fires, but it just seems like it takes too long (i never get it started in less than 5 minutes) any tips or ideas on why it takes too long to start?
I have good fresh fuel, the bulb gets hard, no visible leaks, have spark and a fully charged battery...once it fires and runs once, I can shut it off and re-start at the turn of the key.
any help is greatly appreciated...
