Re: start engine trouble

You posted your question in a "Propeller Forum" when it should have been posted in the "Mercury Outboard" forum. Are you using the choke properly? Warm up (fast idle) lever raised while starting? Do you squeeze the primer bulb to get fuel to the engine before attempting to start it? In other words -- exactly what is your starting procedure?
