[QUOTE="Pappy, post: 442532, member: 3278"] [size=5]Your engine is equipped with a primer system and the previous post was very accurate in describing a proper starting technique. The primer works only off of pressurized fuel. When the key is depressed you are opening a fuel valve in the primer and fuel will flow as long as there is pressure. A good hand prime is necessary for a normal first cold start. Now....Lets check your nipples! No.....not those! The ones on your engine that the primer hoses hook up to! The delivery hole in them is tiny and can plug up super easy. Make sure they are clean and clear first, then, while your hoses are still disconnected pressurize the fuel system and check fuel flow through the hoses by using the key switch then the manual override on the primer solenoid. Once the system is verified then use the procedure outlined above and you should have a good starting engine. First starts on a cold engine that is trimmed down are more sucessful than one that is started in the high trim or low tilt position as well. Fuel flows better downhill !! [/size] [/QUOTE]
