Hey, I recently purchased a brand new Mercury four stroke 8hp outboard. After using it four or five times (with no problems) I couldn't get it to start (despite substantial numbers of attempts). Someone at the marina told me that there are flooding problems associated with this type of engine. Is that so? If so, how can I avoid them in the future?
Thanks

Re: four stroke 8hp starting problem

Since you engine is new you should take it into a dealer as it has a three year warranty. There are no flooding issues that are normal.
