OK I bought this 1995 70 HP evinrude E70TLEOR, bought a service manual. Now the problem is I flooded the motor when trying to start it coming out of winter storage. After reading the service manual it said improper starting procedure, well you need to see the owners manual to find the starting procedure. I do not have the owners manual. Can anyone tell me what the owners manual says as far as a starting procedure. I did pump the fuel line bulb until firm and held the key in for 3 or 4 sec and pumped the throttle it fired twice but didn't run and was flooded.

What makes you think the engine became flooded?
NOTE: Pumping the throttle does nothing but open and close the throttle buttery. There is no pump in the carburetor that shoots fuel into the venturi.
That engine incorporates the feature "Quick Start"... automatically electronically advances the timing for increased starting rpm... drops to normal as the engine warms up. Starting Procedure.....................
1 - Pump fuel primer bulb up hard.
2 - Leave throttle handle in neutral/idle position.
3 - Turn key to START position and hold key in to engage the Fuel Primer Solenoid.
4 - Release key to RUN position when engine fires and starts.
(Fuel Primer Solenoid Function)
(J. Reeves)
The RED lever...... The normal operating/running position is to have that red lever positioned over top of the solenoid and aimed at the other end of the solenoid, gently turned to its stop. This is the normal/automatic mode position. Pushing the key in opens the valve within the solenoid allowing fuel to pa$$ thru it in order to prime and start the engine. Looking upon this solenoid as a electric choke results in a better understanding of it.
Having that red lever turned in the opposite direction, facing away from the solenoid, allows fuel to flow thru it to the crankcase area. One would only turn the red lever to this position in a case where the battery might go dead and the engine had to be started via the rope pull method. Look upon putting the red lever in this position as moving a choke lever on a choke equipped engine to the full closed position. Either one would supply fuel to the crankcase/engine for starting purposes BUT if left in that position while running would flood the engine.
The later model primer solenoids are equipped with a schrader valve, used for attaching a pressurized can of fogging oil etc, available at your local dealership with complete instructions.
Pumping the fuel primer bulb up hard fills the carburetor float chambers of course, but that process also applies fuel pressure to the primer solenoid.
The two small hoses leading from the primer solenoid branch off via tees to each fuel manifold section that would feed fuel to the individual cylinders.
Pushing the key in activates the primer solenoid to allow fuel to flow thru it to the intake manifold pa$$ageways. Cranking the engine over causes the fuel pump to engage which in turn sends fuel pulses to the primer solenoid via the 3/8" fuel hose.
Some engines incorporates the "Fast Start" feature which automatically advances the spark electronically so no advance of the throttle is required for starting.
Engines that do not have the "Fast Start" feature will be required to have the throttle advanced slightly.
Starting procedure: pump fuel bulb up hard, crank engine and push the key in at the same time. When the engine fires/starts, release the key so that it falls back to the run position.
Bottom line..... Look upon the primer solenoid as an electric choke. -
Thank you I am going to try this tomorrowComment
