See full version: Priming an outboard. basic questions
As an example, I go out boating after I was out the prior day. I haven't been priming it at all in that scenario. If its been a while, then I do hit the build 2 or 3 times. Is it OK to prime when the motor is still tilted back in the travel position? I figured that wouldn't be good, so don't do it. more
I have had the outboard boat in my signature for several months now and just want to understand if I'm doing everything correct in starting it when cold. I am wondering if I'm priming it correctly. It usually takes several attempts to get it going and sometimes longer than others. Once its been running for 30 seconds, I can restart it all day without an issue.
I am wondering if this is a normal outboard starting scenario, or if I should be able to get it to pretty much start on the first try every time. I'm new to outboards, so the whole bulb thing is a new concept. Should I be priming it more than 2-3 times before trying to start it very time? How do you know when to stop priming? [links]
So I put the motor down and turn the ignition switch to start it turning over. I wait about 2-3 seconds and then push it in for choke for about a second and then release it. I may have to do that twice. So after about 6-7 seconds of turning over it usually fires and runs for a couple of seconds. If I don't push up the fast idle, it will shut off. If I do try to push up the fast idle it usually also shuts off most of the time. Its very sensitive at this point. If it doesn't get going right away, I usually try 2-3 more times and it might fire and shut off, or it might not fire. I wait a little bit and try it again. I don't think I've ever tried to crank it more than 10-12 time before it cranks, and its usually once I can get the fast idle moved up a bit without it stalling that it starts running. Once its runs for about 10 seconds I can move the fast idle down and it runs fine for the day, no matter how many times I shut it off and restart it.
