T2 revived a Mark 55 at a meet some years back. It needed all the usual items you would expect of an outboard that had set for years unused.
When T2 finished motor went into test tank
ONE pull to prime and STARTED with pull two. Ran great too.
Then the real test. He shut it off and pulled starer rope out a little ,it started,
shut off, with starter rope still out from first pull he gave it a tug and again it started
He repeated the shut off and restart until there was no more starter rope left to pull.
He was applauded.
A really ready to go Mark 55 needs very little encouragement.
