Hello to all:<br />I took my boat out on the river and assume that it would start right up. But before I did this, I put in fresh gas/oil mixure and I change the spark plugs because they looked like they needed to be change.(brown stuff on the end) As I launch my boat into the river this is where the problems started to occur. I don't have a battery, so I have to pull and pull nummours time and nothing happen. I had the fuel gage on rich as a nearby boater told me to try. After many times of pulling the crank cord I tired myself out. Last year I didn't have this problem.I plan on bying a battery but for now I want to know why the boat won't start. Another boater told me to pour a little gas in the carberator as first time user. I didn't know for sure where to pour the gas so I left that suggestion alone. I did have it winterize but nothing was done for the summer. Like I mention, I assume it would start. What seem to be the problem. Here's the information that I have about my boat...<br /><br />1969 Evinrude 25 hp outboard<br />the gas/oil mix ratio 50:1<br />There's a p/n wire to hook a battery to the motor. But for now I usally pull start it.<br /><br />Thank you
and spayed some solution into the spark plugs socket and the carburator and a few cranks and there she goes. Basically, I needed to get some water going through the lower intake unit so that I could get some water into the water pump. There was nothing else that I needed to do. It takes only one pull and she starts right up. Again, My 1969 Evinrude motor sound good and she is ready for the water. <br />
