[QUOTE="overboard, post: 449199, member: 6547"] Just going to throw this at you to check! My fishing buddy bought a boat with a 15 Merc that was hard to start, seems like when you pull the choke out there is a part of it that pushes on a plunger, which would be the "enrichment system". The plunger was stuck and wouldn't push in like it should, I sprayed the plunger and gently tapped on it and it freed up, which also then let the choke knob pull out further because it could now push the plunger in. His has the same setup as you are describing, that was his problem and may not be yours, if you are getting to the second detent on the choke it's probably not the problem. [/QUOTE]
