I have a 25 year old Johnson 3.3. It's been beaten, battered and left in storage for years at a time. Still starts with one pull.
You're right. I was referring to the bigger engines. I actually have an old 15hp Johnson that's same way, starts if you look at it.

Ole Ralph Evinrude had a good run. Married film star Frances Langford. They lived right down the road in Martin County, FL in Jensen Beach. Her home is now the Dolphin Bar.

It’s just frustrating to me to watch American company one at a time continually fail as foreign companies thrive here. Automobiles, tractors, tv’s, motorcycles, boat motors and appliances to name a few.
