When first starting the motor for the day of fishing you do not have to choke the engine If I do choke the engine it will flood. I have never had an outboard that you did not have to choke. Well I put the engine in neutral to start it and immediately when it starts I back off the throttle and let it warm up and then shift and the engine bogs but does keep running. The engine while accelerating the engine bogs, but does not die it will smooth out again. It does not run 100% smooth. There is a slight non smooth running of the engine at different accelerations. When I stop to fish I have to start the engine in the same manner as I do when I first get on the water. I appreciate any help in this matter.
