"My 1995 Force isn't start

"My 1995 Force isn't starting as easy as I think that it should. I have to crank it at least 5-6 times to get it started. I'm not sure if I am flooding the engine or if the plugs are bad or if there could be something else that I am missing. Once it's running it goes great. I skipped the season last year so the motor wasn't used and the gas is at least two years old. But, I did use stabil and this season I took out 1/3 of the gas and replaced it with fresh gas. I also added PRI-G gasoline treatment both last year and this year."

"chrysler 1207hd needs a new oil seal - it would sure help if I had a part # or an idea where to find seals and O rings made for this motor - motor runs great, be a shame to ruin it because I can't find parts - I'd like to replace all seals, gaskets, and impeller"

"Paul - I think you've answered your own question -- the gas is too old. The engine has a hard time starting because all the light volatiles have evaporated or broken down.

"Ok, now I've taken out about 1/2 of the old gas and replaced it with a high octane gas and some more PRI-G. Should this be enough? I don't really have anywhere to dump old gas. I am just wondering what everyone does every year with the old gas that they have in their boats? I have been told to never leave a tank in storage over the winter unless it is totally full...to prevent condensation and water build up in the tank. So, it doesn't seem to make sense to run the tank almost dry at the end of the season and then add stabil or PRI-G. And also, have I now gummed up the motor? It does run fine, it is just starting rough. Thanks a lot,"
