[QUOTE="senkosam, post: 492563, member: 24899"] The motor is leaning against the seat at a [B]45-degree angle[/B] with the handle up like the manual stipulates. It started 5x on the water and [I][U]every time[/U][/I] off the water on the 1st or 2nd pull. Something happened on the water trying to restart it after the 5th time. Using the choke guarantees the motor will [U]not[/U] start; giving it some throttle guarantees it will start. Regardless, I will have the 55# thrust Minn Kota along to return to the dock when no restart is possible. (Never had to drain the carb for transport but will for winter storage.) [/QUOTE]
