When I first start the motor, it starts up pretty good and seems to be working fine. It doesn't give my any trouble starting for the first time. When I go off fishing and stop for a while and fish, it seems I have to use the idle up and run it for a few seconds at higher RPMs before it will stay running. Anyone have any idea what could be causing this challenge?<br /><br />L J
