[QUOTE="richg99, post: 442669, member: 4376"] Well Pappy, what can I say. When tilted back, the motor starts in seconds each time. I took her out yesterday for a short while, and again this morning. It is like I have a new motor. Thanks. Today, I did look for the red switch on the solenoid (picture attached) and believe I will know what to look for in the future, should I ever need to. I presume that if I ever lose total power, and I have to pull start her, I push that switch to prime the engine???? Also today, I wasn't able to check for function on the "primer" /key switch since I had already run the motor dry when I finished with her this morning. Too many things to think of when I only want to go fishing! This closing down one boat, one van, and one house has become a mess this Fall. Perhaps I'll be better equipped next year. This is the first time I am leaving the boat here for the entire Winter. She's been fogged and run dry of fuel, the two gallons left in her tank will be treated tomorrow, or I'll find a yard guy to haul it off. Thanks for all of your help. I feel like I have a new motor now! richg99 [/QUOTE]
