    1995 Yamaha 225 TXRT Hard start "cold"

    I've just bought a boat that has sat for at least 10 years and have gone through and removed and cleaned the carbs, installed new carb kits, new water pump kit and replaced the fuel lines. I can ONLY start it IF I shoot some ether into the airbox, after that she starts right up. Suggestions?
