    Cold start - on the muffs, I open the gas tank vent, squeeze the bulb until firm, turn the key - it usually starts. But if it doesn't, I'll push in the key briefly and that ususally gets it going. Raise the idle lever and let it warm up for a few minutes. Usually in about 30 seconds to a minute...

    87 50HP VRO Evinrude - Could this be my problem?

    I have an 87 50 HP Evinrude with the VRO system deleted by the previous owner. Been battling rough idle, and after running for awhile it is darn near impossible to get started. Replaced the entire fuel and ignition system, runs better but still having the problem. I was thinking, what could...
