[QUOTE="earl60446, post: 359054, member: 4469"] I do not know what kind of engine you have but mine is a johnson 48hp spl 1988. I follow a different starting procedure, JFYI. When cold 1. pump up bulb to firm 2. Advance throttle to a "fast idle" in neutral, my johnson has a separate lever for neutral throttle control, keeps rpm's down. 3. Turn key, as soon as engine is turning over, push in key for "choke", my "choke" is really a solenoid that injects fuel. 4. It usually fires right up, I "choke" it a little if it stumbles in the next few seconds. I think my engine would flood if a I just pushed the key in for 4-5 seconds without turning it over.
