[QUOTE="caver101, post: 115217, member: 1995"] I have a 1981 or 82 evinrude (thinking 82, but have forgotten at the moment) 25hp outboard on my tin boat. Has elec start. Overall the motor is in really good shape for the age. Trying to get the sucker started will nearly toast the starter and drain a brand new battery. Once the motor finally gets running it starts with the touch of the starter button all day, unless it cools off. The colder the weather the harder it is to get started. I am running double oil and high octane gas. I prime the bulb (I have tried squeezing it easy and also squeezing the crap out of it). Tried it with the trim up, level and down. Spark plugs look good. Choke/no choke. Lots of throttle/little throttle. None of that seems to help..... This past week duck hunting in cool weather (upper 20's) I had a heck of a time getting it started. Something has got to give! It just seems like it is not getting any gas for some reason. Once I get it running it runs as smooth as the day it came off the assembly line. Advice? [/QUOTE]
