Starter Problems

[Fishy7816]

Last two times we been out our motor take 10 minutes to get going-don't know why. Are there any ideas on what it could be???

Thanks

I think we'll need a little more information here... Are you saying that you need to crank your motor for up to 10 minutes before it starts?

And what kind of motor are you talking about?

Outboard 1994 60 hp two stroke Evinrude. We turn the key and pump the ball and nothing happens. Tip the motor up and down and mess with the choke. Anything else??

If it's cranking and not firing, the first think I would say is change the plugs (2 strokes need a little TLC)

If it's not cranking over, check all of your battery connections and make sure their clean.

To start your season, change your plugs. If you  do not, you could end up with a wasted trip or even worse a new starter motor.
