ha ha ha good story though ok i might be doing it wrong but i prime the buld the put the key in turn it to the run position and hold it in for about 15 sec. then i reprime the bulb until tight then i push the key in and turn it to crank the motor but nothing happens for about 10 min then finally after lots of words and thoughts on just saying screw it i will buy a new motor it finally cranks.once it cranks it spits and spats around for a min smokinh up the entire lake then it dies then i crank it again and it finally fires off and runs like a champ for the rest of the day. I dont understand what i am doing wrong but any help would be greatly appreciated. I usually run the high grade gas in the motor and evinrude XD 50 part synthetic oil.
