Need advice in 2004 Mercery 60 hp outboard motor....Help!

[jimmy14]

Every morning when I go out fishing with my Tracker I need to use starting fluid to get it going. It is usualy fine after that starting for the day. But I need to do the same thing the next morning. Advice on what could be the problem? Thanks!

Well, welcome to iboats. Go to the engine repair forum. Try there, that is the place for this question. That said, sounds like you have a choke problem. If electric start, push in your key.

And, if you have a fast idle, put the fast idle at max. As soon as the engine lights off, cut her back to reasonable rpm's for warmup.

Some motors have a manual choke/primer, if the electric fails, Under the cowl.
On some omc motors its a little red lever.
