What are the 89 Mercury 35HP Starting Procedures?

[dealk]

I just had it serviced and everthing checked out. Started it on cups day before going to the water, then it was hard to start and would not idle. Seemed like the Choke stuck on it and flooded it out. Did I do something wrong? I pushed the key in a couple times and tried to start it. Nothing, so I hit it a couple more times. Still did not start, thried moving throttle forware a little and it started but would not idle and stalled. Noticed I no longer heard the "click" when I hit the primer nor would it keep running and stalled out. Can someone tell me the step by step starting instructions for this motor?

If you have the single handle control try this.
Make sure fuel bulb is firm
In neutral advance throttle (you'll have to find the best spot)
While holding the key in to activate the choke turn the key to crank
When it starts release choke. You may have to adjust throttle or push choke in momentarily to keep it running til it's warm

good luck
