1988 50HP Evinrude Starting Problem

[buddybuddycox]

We have a very low hour motor. The trouble is when first starting the motor. It will not start. We unplug the wires going to engine plug back in and try again. We do this about ten times and then it starts and runs fine all day. It seems to be taking more and more plugging and unpluging now any tips?

Clean or replace the plug or socket. Check it out with a meter, for some reason it is not making contact.

Will try spraying it out with LPS. Thanks

Are you saying the starter does not spin the engine when your turn the key to START or do you mean the engine spins but just won't fire and run.
