[quote catfishbait]So does anyone Have any tricks for getting the old outboard start quickly ? Is it typical to have them turn over 5 to 6 times before they start ? I picked up a used fishing boat with a 40hp Evinrude. It seems to have to crank quite a bit before starting . Is that typical ? Is there a fuel additive that might quick start it a bit ? I appreciate any input. Im a bit of a novice here with outboards...

Do you have a primer pump in the fuel supply line to the engine? Pump it up good and let it sit a minute under pressure to let fuel get up into the carbs.
