I've heard about outboard "flooding". What causes this? Will pumping the primer bulb too much on an outboard cause it flood and make it hard to start?<br /><br />I noticed sometimes if my outboard dies from a low idle, it is difficult to restart until I wait a while. <br /><br />Wet causes the plugs to become wet?<br /><br />My greatest joy in boating is to start my 15hp outboard on the first pull. I pump up the ball until firm, pull out the choke and pull fast on the rope. Sometimes it works on the first pull, other times it takes up to 5-6. <br /><br />Why the difference?
