Can anybody tell me what i am doing wrong !!
I have just bought a mariner 60 bigfoot , year approx 1999-2000 , not efi.
The engine runs great once i have it started , but trying to start it when it is cold is hard, it turns over perfect but does not want to fire , but after trying this for a while it starts !! 10-15 times !! has the engine got a choke , as it is electric start i do not know where it would be ( i am not great with engines ), is it a automatic choke ?? & would there be an exact way to start the engine ? I am probably doing something simple wrong, any help would be greatly appreciated.:confused:

It has an enrichner which replaces the old butterfly type choke. Turn the key on then push it in and hold it for a few seconds, then start normally. If needed, push the key in again to choke more.
