i have a 1973 mercury 85 hp outboard on my siera cuddy cabin hard top.i go fishing every weekend,but every time when i out there it never start about 10-15 time i turn the key,then i wait 1 to 2 hours ,start it,it go right on and it happen the same every time.I know there must be some thing not right,but dont know why ,because i have all cable,wire,gas line,gas pump every thing is new and turn-up done.Any idea about this thankyou or if you know some place in san jose,ca they can fix it ,tell me.
