small outboard issue

IN RESPONSE TO THE 25HP NISSAN PROBLEM. TAKE YOUR AIR COVER OFF THE CARBS SO YOU HAVE ACCESS TO THEM, NOW MAKE SURE THE KILL SWITCH HAS BEEN PULLED SO THERE IS NO SPARK TO THE ENGINE.KEEP THE GAS LINE HOOKED UP AND PRIMED. NOW PUT YOUR HAND OVER THE CARBURETOR TO SEAL IT FROM GETTING ANY AIR. NOW HAVE SOME ONE TO CRANK THE ENGINE OVER SEVERAL TIMES. THIS CREATE'S A HUGE VACUUM ON THE JETS AND PASSAGES IN THE CARB AND WILL USUALLY SUCK OUT THE JUNK IN THE CARB. DO THIS ON EACH CARB.HOOK KILL SWITCH BACK UP. NOW CHECK AND SEE IF IT WILL RUN.

On the Nissan, I don't know if it's similar to my Suzuki but my 150 two stroke WILL NOT crank if I pump the bulb tight. I give it 3 or 4 pumps which still leaves the bulb spongy and it fires right up. I don't touch the bulb the rest of the day. That took some getting used to for me.
