I have a pair of Evinrude 150's. I have a difficult time starting the port engine and pulling the spark plugs I find them fouled with oil. In reading my Clymer Manual I see a warning to not squeeze the bulb connected to the oil tank as this will fill the carberators with oil. After reading this I pulled the sparkplugs, cleaned them 4 times and finally got the engine to start. Is this something that everyone but me knows about? I have put a big tag on that bulb to not squeeze it!!

You shouldn`t have to sqeeze the ball each time. What year are the motors? I have an 01 ficht 200 and never prime the oil or the gas.
