I recently purchased a Mercury 18XD motor. It seems to run very well but I can't seem to find a way to run it in a fast idle position when starting. I noticed that when you pull the choke out it also primes the motor. I usually have to start it twice because of the lack of idle. Another boater at the launch the other day told me that on his motor you twist the choke to increase the idle but mine does not do that. Am I missing something here?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
