Ok boat is a 2001 285 with a Merc 5.7 with 2BBL carb.
Here is my question, when the engine is cold it will not idle, once fully warmed up it idles fine, and for the rest of the day even when the engine has cooled I can just turn the key and go. Once the engine is warm, that is fully up to normal running temp it also idles fine, she starts easy, no problems there.
Tried disabling the Choke, (disconnected and chock plate held fully open, opens fully once warm when connected anyway) engine again starts fine without choke and just a pump of the throttle.
Not really a big problem just wondered if anyone else had seen this?
