I am having a few issues with the choke on my engine, 1975 85HP.
This week while on vacation I could not get the engine to start, checked the fuel system and spark and everything was great. The next day I friend and I where trying to start it and he flilpped the choke lever by the fuel pump to choke on and it fired after a few seconds of cranking.
That level has always been set to automatic, I have never had an issue with it not starting right up. It has a electric choke solenoid that is not hooked up either, but it was never an issue before.
What is going now? Is it time to rebuild the carbs or do I have something else going on?
