This motor is a little slow to crank after it has set for a week or two. If used regularly it will crank right up. The main issue is when you crank up and throw down the throttle after fishing for a while the motor will choke down like it is starved for fuel. It usually dies and will crank instantly. It will finally pickup and go. I try letting it warm up, gradually increasing throttle and throwing down the throttle but wind up with the same result. Does anyone have any ideas what my problem may be?
