[QUOTE="srr5008, post: 359051, member: 4287"] Kofkorn - thank you for the replies in this post and my other thread. My typical startup method is to advance the throttle (in neutral) about 2/3 of the way, push the key in to choke it for about 4-5 seconds, then turn the key. I did not choke it every time I attempted to start it last night for fear of flooding it. This motor has always been difficult to start. When I first installed it on my boat a month ago, I had a lot of trouble getting it started for the first time after my initial carb teardown and cleaning, but nothing like the trouble I am experiencing now. I will have to try for a more thorough carb teardown tonight. [/QUOTE]
