Likely a choke use misunderstood issue, I’d guess.video shows the outboard turns over when you turn the key but as soon as key is let go, it dies, what could it be?
seller sent me a video over the phone. i paraphrased it wrong.What video?
As long as the compression is ok. She will be fine. These old things have a certain knack to their starting usually. Mixture between some throttle and choke use, has then firing up no probsseller sent me a video over the phone. i paraphrased it wrong.
Got another video, it attempts to start, sputters a little then dies. he thinks it's a igntion switch problem, i'm guessing more like fuel/carb/plug etc.
thanks all.
