[QUOTE="JMichael, post: 315001, member: 7544"] In addition to what is mentioned above, you need to learn the secret to your motor. It seems like every motor has it's own secret to what makes it start the best. My 20 horse Merc wants the choke on for one 75% pull. After that partial power pull with choke on, I turn the choke off and give it one good pull and it will start up and run great with that second pull. After the initial start, I never have to use the choke the rest of the day and it will start with a 1/2 pull every time. [/QUOTE]
