I came across a 1968 18hp Evinrude that appeared to be a great runner. Ran great at the sellers place, he had it running before I got there (hint), and told me it could take a few pulls to fire up from cold. Sure enough the next day it was awful, Ended up spraying fuel into cylinder to get it to start. I checked the leafs and they look new. Went ahead with a tuneup and all the usual stuff on a older motor thinking it would resolve the issue. Motor does run very well when it gets going and will restart with a single pull after initial start. Just at a loss as to what to try next.
Important info:
Compression is 120 Top / 125 Bottom
I installed a New Tune Up kit including plugs, & Wires
Gear Case Reseal
New Fuel Pump
New Hoses and gas tank
Carb Kit
Set timing with marks on flywheel, using a multimeter
