Starting a 1998 Mercury EFI 225 after sitting for 18 years
Hi Guys, just need some feed back on going about this. Initially tried it without the key by splicing the ignition to ignition wire and touching the solenoid to the hot did not have the magneto wires hooked up.motor turned but it did not start. Talked to a local mechanic told me I needed an ignition switch with a key for it to start. Picked up a harness with key will try again.here is the concern pulled the throttle body off to try to get fuel sprayed inside. Did not know the whole throttle body assembly would come off. So the gasket in between got torn a bit. Buttoned it back up and will try again with the key. Will the gasket torn in between the throttle body and intake cause it not to start? If anyone has insight on this I’m all ears. thanks the help its much appreciated
