Ok so when I try to start my boat it takes about 5 mins of cranking and it will start then die a few times. After I get it started and warmed up I have to push down the idle bar (thing that makes it idle higher) and throw it into full throttle and pull back to slow to get it going or else it will die. From then on out it pretty much has 2 speeds slow and fast, if I try to slowly increase the speed, it will die, but if i go full throttle and pull back down it wont die. (all this makes it really hard when i am in a no wake zone ha) Then if i let it idle without the idle bar all the way up it will die. Any suggestions on what the problem is? Thank you for your time.
