[QUOTE="Lowrider1, post: 491560, member: 17989"] [B]I have the old 3.3 hp Merc and the first time each Spring or whenever the first start of the season happens I shoot a short squirt of "starting fluid" in the direction of the carb and it starts easily and thereafter all Summer. I think there must be an accumulation of oil or gunky stuff (not further identified but may come from the corn being burned in the E10 gas) that is on the spark plug while sitting for months and the starter fluid does just the right thing to get an adequate spark to get things working. Worth a try.[/B] [/QUOTE]
