I still have a good set of arms, had this engine for over ten years but it has never been as tough as this to pull. Might be an idea to get a new one with an electric starter but I would like to know what the problem is first.
Hi , I have a mariner 40 two stroke, which I have just taken out of winter storage. Tried to start it and it is very difficult, very strong compression. Took the spark plugs out and it pulls easily, but once back in it will not pull quick enough to start. Any ideas what the problem is?
