I have a 1981 Mercury 25 hp I recently bought and like most outboards, it won't start :wallbash:It is a pull start and when I crank it as hard and as fast as I can, it makes a quiet weak crank. It sounds like I'm pulling the rope as slow as a 90 year old woman would but I'm giving it my all and I'm a 26 year old man. My question is, what do you think the problem may be? Could a gummed up carb do this?
