Flooding Problem

[Christos593]

Hi All- First post, thanks in advance...<br />Motor is a 115 V4 2000 Johnson.<br />It seems to floodout to the point of not cranking at least once a trip. <br /><br />Is there soemthing I can check to sure this? When starting do i need to push key in to choke everytime I start up?

Welcome To IBoats <br />You only need to choke it when it's cold if it's warm you don't have to as it might flood

One shot on the choke when cold should be enough for it to start anymore would flood it with a strong smell of gas at that point you either wait or crank without the choke better to wait
