Question: 2005 Mercury EFI 250
Starting from cold, prime the bulb, turn the key and press in for automatic choke, engine starts up nicely and idles appropriately.
After that, same progression except priming bulb and not pushing in for choke. (I have checked for bulb tight and it has been fine) So just normal cranking after been running around...crank, try’s to start but doesn’t, seems to struggle for gas, so I push neutral button on shifter and push throttle up to give it some gas, it starts and I have to idle it back down and put in gear and runs normal.
Runs normal while running, when stopped and in neutral it seems to run fine until I turn it off...then struggles to start unless I give it some gas...
So cold starts are great, warm engine starts struggle unless give throttle
What gives?
