I have a 1978 70 HP Evinrude. When I start the engine it seems to flood really easy. I can try to start it, but I alwys have to take the air silencer off and let the carbs get more air. I will crank the motor over several times and then it will start coughing. I crank it a few more times and then it fires up. My question is Is there an adjustment that can be made that will relieve the flooding problem. I am assusming it is flooding due to the amount of fuel that is in the bottom of the air silencer when I remove it. Anyone have any direction?
To start the boat I hook up fuel line, pump bulb, turn and press key in to choke it. I also pull the warm up lever on the side of the control up. If the boat starts and then dies thats when the problem begins. Once the motor is good and warm I don't have any problems at all, it will start up first crank no problem. What do y'all think.
