First post here.

I have a '88 25hp elec. ( model J25TECCA) start that I'm trying to get running. It hasn't run in about 2 years. I have a new impeller and fuel pump kit, and carb kit on order. Is there anything else I should replace?

I squeezed the primer bulb until it was firm. The starter cable is in poor shape, so I wrapped a rope and gave it a shot of start fluid and gave it a pull. I was able to get it to fire on the start fluid but it wouldn't run. I then figured I should get a service manual, and I did get one. I haven't tried to start it again since. Is my start procedure even close to get this motor running?

Please help me out, this is my first outboard ever.

Thanks!

Re: Need help with start up procedure

the float needle value in the carb, and jets are probably in need of cleaning.

to start: vent open on tank, pump bulb till hard, motor in neutral, throttle high as it will go. choke engaged, pull. or turn key.

NEVER use starting fluid on a 2 stroke, use premixed gas, in spray bottle.
