I have a 1970 J700 1106C Clinton outboard that I bought for the mountain lakes in Arizona. It moves my 12ft Lund fine and meets the horsepower restrictions but, once going the motor runs great but even after a carb rebuild it is extremely difficult to start. Is this an endemic problem with this motor or is there something I can do. Thanks

Re: 1970 Clinton outboard

it starts just like a lawn mower, choke it the 1st 2 pulls, then turn choke off. it is a lawn mower motor with a lower unit.
