I hope someone might know something about my problem. It's a 1989 Johnson GT 150. The first start is hard as all get out. I pump up the bulb, set my cold idle throttle, push the key in to set the electric choke. Then I proceed to crank and crank and crank. After cranking it over for about 10 minutes it finally tries to fire. During the process, I begin to smell gas like it's trying to flood. As I said, after about 10 minutes it finally tries to catch and eventually fires up. I have pulled the plugs and they are clean as a whistle. The filter is new and I have good spark. After that first start, she'll spark off first time, every time while it's warm. But I sure do hate makin people have to wait on me when I'm launching the boat. Any suggestions will be welcome and I am giving you a pre-emptive thank you. Thanks!!
