[QUOTE="HOUSE, post: 288888, member: 4466"] Hey guys, I posted this on my build page, but wanted to ask in this forum to get more feedback. Re: 1996 Force 9.9hp outboard (pull-start): My motor starts up 95% of the time on the first pull. However, if for whatever reason it doesn't, it will not start on the second or third pull unless I let it sit for a few minutes. It seems like I am flooding the engine, but I'm not priming it or squeezing the fuel bulb. I just pull the cord with the throttle in the 'start' position and the engine in neutral. Does that sound normal? It has really thick white smoke almost every time it starts up which makes me think it is flooding with that single pull. I can't quite figure this one out...any ideas? Thanks [/QUOTE]
