Just Learned this
After two seasons of owning my new to me rebuilt 1989 175 hp (gas guzzling ) Evinrude engine I've learned that pushing the choke in repeatedly while trying to start the engine is the wrong thing to do and likely why I always had trouble starting her..I've just never been an outboard person !. Now I have learned that holding the choke down for 8 seconds or so is the proper way to do it. Ok now I am wondering why I always seem to have what looks like oil dripping down the engine I pre mix my oil at 50/1 ( visible as I stand at the helm ) could this also be from my improper starting procedure ? Note: the engine is a beast and runs flawlessly when warm.
