Hey. I need help. I have a 74' Evinrude 85hp outboard. At first start up, I squeeze the fuel bulb 2-3 times, I pull up on the cold start lever on the controller, and push the key in and turn. OK...starts up. But after going out on the lake and shutting er down for awhile, it will not fire up to start. What I have to do is remove the spark plugs, add fuel manually into the cylinders, re-install spark plugs and then only will it fire to start. Can anybody help? Where do I start?:facepalm:

Have you tried opening up the throttle (cold start lever) when you try and start it up again? Or just pumping the ball again to force gas in?
