    225 Series II difficult starting

    Have an 08 Series II 225 that is very difficult to start first time in the am. Now have ~ 30 hrs on it. Have recently changed plugs and also put the biggest baddest starting battery in it i could find. I pump the bulb till firm in the am. It is going in the shop Friday am and would like any suggestions so i can speak with some intelligence.. any suggestions other than TPS adjustment?
    Oh. once started for the day it runs just fine.
    thanks..

    Pumping the bulb does nothing the fuel system is air tight. Sounds like fuel pump issue having a problem getting the system primed. Once it is primed runs good over nite your loosing your prime Yamaha fuel pumps are very strong.
