[QUOTE="JL8Jeff, post: 504426, member: 12995"] With my 60/45 Merc I pressurize the fuel bulb and then open the throttle a little and start to crank and push in the primer. I don't hold the primer very long, definitely not 12 seconds but that's what makes starting used motors so much fun, you have to figure out exactly what that particular motor likes to get it fired and running. You can also buy some starting fluid, pull the plugs and spray some in and then it should fire over easy, you just need to know where to throttle it to keep it running until it warms a little. I think I flood my motor at least once every year. :) [/QUOTE]
