When pulling the starter rope on an outboard moter, with the choke pulled out, and a new spark plug... after pulling 30 or so times should you be able to smell gas on the spark plug?

Uh....yeah....But, if a Tohatsu does not start by the second pull you should stop because....something has gone terribly wrong.

It's good to see that you have a sense of humor and can laugh at yourself when deserved. I think that's the only way to get through life.

Perhaps your wife has a bright future ahead of her as a OB mechanic. :)<br /><br />BTW, how did you pay her for her services?<br /><br />Don't sweat it, there isn't a one of us here that hasn't made a mistake like that. At the time it is so frustrating...later down the road you just have to sit and chuckle at it.
