I recently purchased a 1989 Johnson 25 with electric start.<br />When engine is warm it starts with no problem.<br />However, when cold it takes me 15 minutes and about 35 ranks or so to start it. I think I am flooding it or not following the proper procedure on cold starts. I know it needs to be in neutral and the primer bulb needs to be squeezed until firm. I'm not sure if I am supposed to push in and hold the starter button in all the while I am cranking the engine and what position the idle lever should be during a cold start. Help!
