Motor Won,t Start

[fessco2@aol.com]

I have a 1994 40hp OB (FORCE) The thing will not start without giving it full throttle, once it is started it runs fine. but when I turn it off, it will not start unless I give it full throttle again. Any suggestions( throttle cable stretched?)

Just a guess but if it requires full throttle to start then it may be flooding.
Opening the throttle would help clear it out.

Thanks for the input, do you have any suggestions on what would cause this problem. The motor ran fine last year. I dewinterized it ,changed the plugs and fuel filter. Got out on the river and boom. PROBLEMS.
