[QUOTE="Tinny Fleet, post: 510653, member: 22140"] Friends: I have a 1989 Evinrude 90 HP V4 outboard. A VRO model. I am the original owner. It starts hard, especially if its not been run for a while (like a few days). Cranks fine, but just does not seem to easily start up. I'll often have to crank it 20-30 times just to get it to catch. When it does finally start and runs for a while it runs great, idles just fine, etc. A friend told me these old V4's had starting issues, but I did not inquire further. It was as if hard starting was a "thing" with these motors. I've serviced it over the years: Most recently, it has new plugs, new fuel filter, new fuel line and bulb. And I've run ethanol free gas in it for at least the last 10 years. Any ideas gratefully appreciated. Thanks in advance. ' [/QUOTE]
