Starting a Honda outboard question
I have a Bennington pontoon boat and a Honda 4 stroke 90 HP engine. It seems
I always have a problem starting this engine, and I am very sure the problem is me. This is my procedure, maybe someone can correct me: 1. I pump the throttle handle 3 times. I leave in in neutral and at 25% throttle. 2. I hold the choke switch and then turn the ignition on. It seems to never catch on the first 3-4 tries. Only after 4th try do I even get a sign of catching, and it lights up on 5th or 6th. Should I pump more gas at the beginning? I upgraded from a wellcraft boat with an I/O engine, where more than 3 pumps and you flooded the engine. So maybe I am just not giving the Honda enough gas at the beginning. Anyone have a suggestion? |
