"1974 Mercury 650 65hp outboar
"1974 Mercury 650 65hp outboard. Sometimes it takes a long time to start and then runs fine after starting. Recently it has begun starting right away and the flooding shortly after getting out into the lake. Once you drain the gas out of the carbs and get it started it runs fine the rest of the day. Any ideas??
Secondly, I have just replaced the impeller and am going to put the lower unit back on, I am concerned about how to get the shift shaft correctly aligned. Is there a trick to getting it aligned correctly?
Thanks"
