    I have a 2.7 hp outboard thats really hard to start, I can get it started but the compression from the motor is really hard to overcome. does anyone know a solution to this? maybe just needs running in?

    this motor should not be hard to pull start
    first question is it in neutral with the correct throttle setting
    second what type of motor is this. this info can help

    A motor this size should be easy to pull-start with one hand.
    Is this one of those cheaper units that has no shifter? If so, is it fitted with a centrifugal clutch (or any sort of clutch)?
