Mariner 40 hard to start

[skauldy]

Hello lad's

Have a problem with another one of my outboards if you's could throw somelight on it . It's a mariner 40 electric start 2 cylinder 2 stroke with one carb .. when you go to start it,it will turn over all day and won't fire buy if you give it the slightest bit of throttle it will fire run for a second and then die .Start it again and it will fire and run all day . Only when it's cold you have to do this any idea's

Thank's lad's
Shane

if you are not using the fast idle lever, it may never start, raise the fast idle lever when starting. they have to have gas to start.
