hi,<br /> i have a evinrude 115, 86 model ,v-4,vro.<br /> when i bought it was has been rebuilt and was sitting up for about a year. it has a hardtime cranking when its cold with the key switch. when its cold it wont start. i can pull start it and it will start fine, and after it runs a good 5 minutes or so it will fire up with the key.changed plugs, wires, compression test done all numbers were about the same 114, changed ignition switch, checked coils, checked fuses, all i was left to do was order a manual. what other suggestion do u have i do please any thing will help tremendously!!!!

texas,<br /><br />You say it starts OK with the rope. WOW, you're a better man than me.<br /><br />Are you pushing the key in to prime it while it's cranking?<br /><br />Do you have the primer valve switch turned the right direction?

Hello!<br />>when you say "has a hard time cranking" do you mean it cranks over slowly?<br />>what is the battery voltage while cranking?<br />>have you tried wd-40 or adding premix while cranking?<br />>have you checked for spark while cranking?<br />>have you disconnected the kill wires at the packs and tried cranking?<br /><br /><br /> need more info

hi,<br /> where exactly should the vavle be pointed. someone told me that it should be between the two screws on the mount where its at. can u tell me where they should be located at in what direction.<br /><br /><br />schematic: it turns over real fast like it wants to start. yes i turn the key ovder and push it in and i can hear the fuel shoot in the carb.u mean wd-40 i can squirt that in the carb and it will crank but only after i squirt in it. what do the kill wires look likie can u enlighten me please.

>do you mean it will start if wd-40 used?<br /><br /><br />If it starts with wd-40, it means you have a lean fuel condition...<br /><br />If it doesn't make a difference with wd, its electrical.<br /><br />If its electrical, this is what I'd try:<br /><br />>disconnect the black/yellow wire from each pack. This will disable the kill circuit and eliminate the control box and wiring to it.(to kill engine, you may need to us the choke)<br /><br />>disconnect the charging system stator leads from the rectifier/regulator.<br /><br />see if problem goes away.<br /><br />good luck....

Howdy, guys.<br /><br />We need to stop recommending WD-40 as a starting aid.<br /><br />It no longer uses propane as a propellant. It now uses CO2 and will not start an engine.<br /><br />Red sky at night. . .<br />JB
