I have a 1973 Mercury 150hp inline 6 that is hard to start when cold. Warm it fires right up. Rebuilt the carbs, new plugs, max advance at 20 deg., 100psi on all 6 cylinders.(A bit low but even) Has to crank for 2 minutes before it starts when it's cold? Pumped the ball primer, tried choke or no choke. Tried throttle or no throttle. Still takes a couple minutes to start. Anyone have advice on what to check/try? Starting fluid works but hate to do that everytime I start it. Need a newer motor.
Thanks in advance for any advice
