I have a 1975 Chrysler 6hp. Model 62HG. It will not start first time on trip, or after it sets a few hours unless you prime with about a table spoon of gas in carb. It means even on water tilting motor backwards. It has new plugs, and the primer bulb gets hard, after i hear carb fill. Thank You, Mike H.

It runs OK after you get it started?<br /><br />Make sure the fuel is fresh, and you are using a 50:1 mix.

Brand new tank, oil/gas mixture at 50:1. Runs perfect after you get it started, choke works fine too. Thank You, Mike Haley.

think I would suspect the carb float is out of adjustment or the mechanism needs to be cleaned.
