I'm very new to outboards and just purchased one. When buying the motor, it started up normally but since getting it home I've only gotten it to start once.
The one time I did get it to start, it took probably 20-30 pulls. When it did start, it ran perfect. I could then turn it off and with one pull it would start back up immediately. Since then I haven't been able to get it started. I choke it, prime it, and it won't go. I put in new spark plugs but no luck. I also noticed my gas tank has an air vent on the cap, should that be opened up or close?
Does anyone have any suggestions on what to do? I've looked through the FAQ board on this forum but haven't found anything really particular to my engine which is why I'm hoping you guys might know more.
Thanks
