[QUOTE="MrGiggles, post: 506760, member: 22613"] I'd say it should be going within ten seconds. I had an 83 25hp Johnson and it would start almost immediately. Check the easy stuff first. Are you running it on muffs or in a barrel? If it's in a barrel, the water level needs to be above where the water is positioned in the lower unit, usually 2-3 inches above the cavitation plate. Also make sure the telltale nozzle and hose are clear. Mud daubers will make a home in them. If it was stopped up and the water pump is working, you should still have water exiting the exhaust ports on the midsection. [/QUOTE]
