I think you are right, re the circuit relay that went bad. When you say "hit the primer/enrichener by hand", can you describe this in a bit more detail, so I understand? Back in the 70s when we had trouble starting a car, we'd spray starter fluid in the carburetor and it would start right up...
Last year a friend of mine was helping when my boat wouldn’t start. It turns out it was a bad ECM that I had in my 2010 Suzuki 90 HP. The ECM replacement was not available for months, so he added a push button start. It works, however, when starting it cold, I turn the key, push the start button...
I have an 89 Suzuki, manufactured under the name Cabrea, that runs well at idle and troll, but when giving it any more throttle, it stalls. I cleaned the carb and it has a fresh tank of gas. Any ideas? :confused:
