06 johnson 4 strk starting problem

[impdog]

This is a pull start and it takes a dozen or more pulls to get it goen, once started and run a few minutes, it starts with a half pull rest of day. I pull choke out and lift throttle lever up half way or more and pull twice push in choke and not a quiver, than keep pullen till it does start? I think it should start on 3rd pull.

Have you tried it without the choke. My experience with 4 strokes is they don't like much choke. Try just pumping it up with just a little throttle and give it a try.

I will give that a try tomorrow morning, gona try a new place to fish thanks

[impdog]

Gave that a try and same old thing, after about a dozen pulls without and with choke it started ran great and started fine?

Hope it is under warranty, if not find a new shop, sounds like just random parts replacement. If PP was the problem it wouldn't run fine the rest of the day. If anything a PP problem will show up as the motor gets hot, not the other way around.

Your problem def sounds fuel related. (lack of fuel after sitting)

I tend to agree with MD on this one

When I droped it off and told him what it was doing he said it was a fuel problem! but after testing it has low spark and that needed fixed before the carburation problem, guess I better work some overtime and not fish for a while.
