I recently bought a used 1995 mariner 2 stroke and it has been starting first or second pull and running fine until yesterday. Now it's a total pain to start, have to pull 5-15 times and sometimes it dies. It has a built in gas tank and I think the connection between the tank and the fuel line may be leaking, would this cause the above problem? Spark plug is new.
