I made this comment in someone else's thread but need help/advice with this.
My 25hp Merc will not start (pull start) no matter how many times I pull. One shot of starter fluid (yes I know it's not good to use) and it starts in one pull. I took it to the lake and same deal, once it started it ran and idled over 3 hours perfectly. Once it's off, won't start w/o starter fluid. I actually did the SeaFoam carb/engine cleaner treatment and I thought it fixed the problem but sure enough, won't start w/o starter fluid. Not sure what to do at this point, the carb has been rebuilt(kit) within the last year. Serial # 0C196683
