[QUOTE="richg99, post: 442572, member: 4376"] Well, I guess I am just plain really dumb. For the last 40 years or so of running outboards, I had never heard of the "tilt the engine in" suggestion. This only worked one time today, but...I used to keep the engine level when starting. Seemed to make sense to me. Today, I tucked the motor all of the way tight. She started in just a few seconds. I hope to check that process out a few more times before this tinny gets left to Winter in TN. Thanks, Pappy, et al. richg99 [/QUOTE]
