"Cold Natured" Motor?

[DYNATRAK]

i fished last saturday, freezing cold that morning. i thought my 60 johnson would never start. my suggestion is to start it the night before on muffs and a hose and let it warm up before heading to the lake the next a.m.

try this start up procedure:

1. pump primer bulb until firm
2. turn key to ON position
3. push in key to choke and hold for 8 seconds
4. release and turn key over to START
5. motor should start. if it doesn's repeat steps 1-4.
6. as motor warms, it should try to sputter out on you, push key choke in to keep engine from stopping.

hope this helps.

that motor has the enrichener valve,not an actual choke.it puts gas directy to the engine to cold start,my 200 was the same way,my trick is to push key about 4 times and hold it in as it cranks it fires very quick now instaed of killing the battery.actually trimming up the motor whill make it harder to start if it isn't flooded.pistons have to ##### the fuel "uphill"
so to speak trim the motor level or very slightly down while choking.if this doesnt work try manually operating the valve via
the red lever if this wirks either the diaphram in this is bad or the enrichener could be bad or choke button "key" may not be working.
