Hi,
I have a 4HP 1980s vintage Mariner outboard (Yam built, 6E0 engine, earlier shear pin drive prop) which is used on a tender to get out to our mooring.
Once running, the engine is fine. However it is a pig to start, bad enough when cold but seemingly even worse if it was already used a couple of hours before. No signs of life at all when the cord is pulled repeatedly, then sudden firing after 10 or more attempts.
Any ideas what might be up? Would probably benefit from a general service, but am interested in any specific problems which are likely to affect starting. Or is there a particular technique which works well with these engines?
Engine is stored upright at home, but on its side in the car on the way down to the boat. It is stopped using the stop button as we approach the shore - I know letting it run out of fuel is generally preferred, but this is difficult to judge.
Any thoughts appreciated. Also if anyone knows a souce of a cheap propeller for this engine please let me know!
Regards, Rob
