    Help w/130hp Johnson

    MAybe someone out there can get me looking in the right spot. Had my 99 130HP johnson tuned up last April. It always seemed a bit slow to start. Last weekend I though I would run out of battery before it fired. Smokes a lot after starting but I figure that is because it cranked for so long. Where should I look first? I prime with bulb, I don't let the starter run too long. Should I get different plugs? I hate to take it in to the shop they are really busy and it takes for ever to get an appoinment. Thanks for any help

    Are you pushing in the key for 5 seconds to choke it before turning to start?
