I need some help with starting my 90 hp force motor 1994. I noticed this season starting my motor is more difficult then normal.While starting from cold start in takes a good 5 minutes or better. I replaced battery,new plugs 2 sets,fuel filters,omc water seperator.I decarb motor about 1 month ago also.When it starts it runs good,but when shut off it takes about two starts to run again the ball remains hard but I have to increase throttle too start it again.At the cold start when it fires up more then normal smoke comes out (white). can some one give me some good advice.

Sounds like its time to clean up the carbs.<br /><br />also check to see if the primer is working.<br /><br />TMD

I had the stator replaced about 5 yrs back.They installed a red one. How would I check to see if its no good and could this be my problem cold starting.
