1987 Rochester quadrajet

Usually mine will take about 2-3 crank overs before it fires after being stored for 5 months in the off season.
Open throttle all the way to let the choke close
pull handle out (if OMC remote control) and advance throttle about 1/3 to provide fast idle (marine carbs to not automatically set fast idle like auto carbs)
Crank over, may need to pump the throttle to get it to fire if carb is empty
Then lower idle to about 1200 rpm to let it warm up

Thanks for all your help Lou, she started right up and purrs like a kitten!

Great glad to hear it. We are still about 6 weeks away from the weather being nice enough to start up the I/Os, still gets too cold at night.
