New to this forum, so not sure if im going about this correctly, but here goes nothing.
I have a 1990 Evinrude 150 hp VRO motor.(Model # VE150TXESB)
Ive have had it one season and it is a very strong running motor. I have replaced the rectifier, starter, starter selenoid, impeller, new plugs, and cleaned the carbs.
Its always had a hard time starting when it hasnt been ran. (so if i went out and spent the night on the boat it would be tough to start up that follwing morning)
After spending much time, i have come up with a way to start it up first time, cold or not. I would pump the oil, then pump the primer bulb til hard, then move the primer switch selenoid down to neutral and press bulb 4 times to choke the motor. Then it would always start right up. After starting i then move the primer choke selenoid switch back to the left(manually instead of at helm)
Now It wont start for anything. It sounds like it isnt combusting. The motor sounds like its ready to start but held back by the starter due to it not spinning fast enough.
if anyone has any thoughts please let me know what you can think of!
