Hi guys... I just bought a 1973 65 hp 2 stoke. So I should say that that the previous owner install the engine with Mercury controls. So my question is I have to prime the engine with a squirt bottle of mixed fuel to start cold. Once started I runs fine so I think somehow with the merc controls I'm missing the proper priming system. Any help would be great I don't mind finding Evinrude controls if that's what I need. Thanks in advance Mark
