Got a pair of Hondas that are over 10 years old. I do what he said. And yes, they start up on the 2nd or 3rd pull each spring!
After I drain the carb, mine is a 12 or 13 pull job too, then next time I need to fill the bowl and get it to run. Gotta let the fuel pump do it's job.
BTW, when I drain the carb, once drained, I leave the motor switch in the "off" position, flip the choke to cold start position, and pull the starter handle another 3 or 4 times, to suck all the gas out of all the jets in the carb also. Anyone with a small outboard knows this is standard operating procedure, suck the jets dry of fuel also.
