Hi folks, just bought an Evinrude 2HP, 1985 off ebay...and I have no clue how to start it.
Can someone please explain it?
Thanks a ton!

put in fresh 50:1 gas oil mix (drain off any fuel left in tank if its suspect at all)
put motor into water
open fuel valve and tank vent
pull out choke advance throttle and crank
After it starts push in choke... you may have to rechoke as required until motor is warm.
