I was out fishing yesterday am. As always, the motor ran perfect all morning. Headed toward the ramp to leave, ditched the boat on shore, got the trailer in the water,went to start the motor and it would only run for approx 1 second or 2 then kill. The only thing that I had done different than in the am, was to trim up the motor a bit. Repeated 6 to 8 times. 3/4 tank of gas. Bulb squeezes full. Its a 60 hp 2005 4 stroke , with just about breakin hours on her. Finally after a dozen attemts or more and some angry glares 
from the other 2 fisherman, trying to unload, She fired up and due to the 
,of the other fisherman I loaded it right away and didnt get a chance to run her to see whats going on. Is it possible to get an air lock without dissconecting the supply line?? Thats what it acted like. I’d better pick up an oar before my next outing…..(Or maybe a couple extra batteries and a 12pk 
)….Thanks for your thoughts ……….Murf
