Hey guys,
I'm new to this site looking for some help with my 98 Mariner 25 outboard. Motor runs strong but there seems to be a problem with the primer. When the motor is cold the primer doesn't seem to work at all. It's electric start and I have to let it turn over and over numerous times before it finally starts. Once it's warm it fires up like a champ. Happens every time that I try to crank it cold. I pump the bulb up as tight as I can, pull the primer and it seems to make no difference. Also, seems that the primer knob turns to extend it even further out if need be. I've been running it this way for the past couple years and really can afford to take it anywhere so this is where you experts come in
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!! I'm pretty good with car motors but know nothing about boat motors other than the typical plugs, wires, filters that sort of thing.
