Hi all, it's been awhile and here goes. My '92 70 horse evinrude has always been alittle hard starting at the dock. Once started and warm she's off and up on plane, no problem! When I sit and fish for awhile, it can be a problem starting. The motor acts like I have to pad the throttle like on a car. I can use the fast idle lever to get it started and rev it up but once I use the remote and put it in gear I have to work the throttle back and forth to get it to go. When it starts, it seems like it's not getting enough gas. Once I get past this point she'll get up on plane without even a sputter. Motor is great wide open. I will entertain all suggestions and ideas.
Thanks,
Wayne
