Hello all,
New guy here, glad I found this board. I fish mostly JPP and Nickajack being in Murfreesboro. I am a new to me boat owner. A 1989 Tracker Magna 17 with a 60hp Mercury. I Know the original owner and have fished this boat many times. It has always run great, and still does, but it also has been hard to start over the last 5 years, and still is. My friend and previous owner is not a great mechanic and did very little to help this since it never left him stranded, he was good. I'd like to get it to a easier starting state. I changed plugs and shot some seafoam deep creep in the cylinders as well as run some seafoam thru it. It now runs at the top end much smoother but still hard to start. Any ideas? Is this just normal for a 25 yr old 2 stroke or does it sound like dirty carbs?
Thanks in advance.
Sean
