Re: 1983 7.5 evinrude hard to start
How's compression? I generally like to see at least 80 psi on those, with no more than 5% variance.<br /><br />Fuel bulb is fully primed?<br /><br />Have you checked the fuel pump? If you disconnect the fuel line at the carb nipple, hold the fuel line into a soup can, and spin the motor over, does fuel come out of the fuel line?<br /><br />Is the fuel fresh and properly mixed at 50:1?<br /><br />- Scott
