(should read will NOT run at idle). I just tried starting my outboard today after a full year of sitting up(it was winterized). When I finally got it started it would not start unless the manual choke was pulled and had some throttle, it would not idle however....it always needed some throttle. Everytime I tried to push the choke back in it would cut off. I used some valvtec and some carb cleaner and let it run for a bit with the choke and still, it would not run unless the choke was out with some throttle. It will not start up at all with the choke in, whether it has throttle or not....it would just spit a couple times and cut off. Any suggestions? I did not have this trouble last year...that said it never sat for over 6 months without use either. This is also the first year I winterized it since I was deployed for a year. It's a Yamaha by the way.
