Hi all
A newbie here, I have recently acquired a 115 hp chrysler 4 cylinder 2 stroke outboard that hadnt been started for a couple of months. I have cleaned the motor, changed the plugs and fuel hoses/filter and got a new battery. The starter motor turns over fine, but when trying to start cold, it is a bugger to get the plugs firing. One started I can turn on and off at will so long as I dont leave it longer than an hour or so.
I have tried using the choke and the lever which says use when starting in neutral in all different positions but can seem to get it right. The fuel is clean, mixed 50/1 with 2 stroke oil, the breather hole on the tank is open and the fuel bulb new and pumped hard.
There are 2 carbys and alot of fuel drips out of both after a few times of trying to start, am I flooding it, or can anyone offer any more advice? - it is doing my head in!
Many thanks
Si.
