Hi I have just bought a boat with a 20 hp mercury on the back. It had not been started for a number of years but to our suprise it fired up after about 6 pulls.. However when we stopped it and tried to restart it it would not go until we poured some petrol into the spark plug holes. We did not have a proper fuel tank for the motor and so used a standard fuel can with the pipe just placed into the petrol. Can anyone tell me if this may have been the cause of the re starting problems as other than this the motor ran perfectly.Many thanks. Tony.
