    2006 115hp optimax miss when first started??

    <1B372539>

    My optimax seems to "miss" occasionally when first started for the day. After it starts to warm up, runs fine throughout the RPM range. Can shut down and restart with no issues. Wondering if an occasional miss is normal when first started or is there something I should check?

    Cold starts- not abnormal. If the spark plugs are outside of the recommended service range, that will exasperate it (364.99 days, or 100 hours of operation, whichever occurs first).

    Be sure to add your engine serial number when posting.
