I have a 85 Mariner 75 HP that turns over great but does not start. If i use a little sprits of starting fluid it will start and run great but if it sits for a little while it will not start again. Does anyone know what could be the cause?
If it's a 2 stroke I would not shoot starter fluid in the carbs.
