Hard to Start

This whole thing is starting to sound like a discussion of the proper way to wipe your a**

Do I wipe upwards or downwards?

Do I use short strokes or long strokes?

How many times should I wipe?

Should I be standing up or sitting on the pot ?

Do I run the bathroom fan for 30 seconds before doing anything?

How should I fold the toilet paper?

Just like there's more than one way to do "the wipe" , there's more than one way to start the boat

I sometimes wipe an extra time just because it feels so good.

Try the adjustment of the bimetallic spring housing when the engine is cold. It's the black cover with the three screws.

Where do I find it on the carb? What info do I need to take to the auto parts store! I know that is the problem!!!

Thanks!!!!

Here is how I troubleshot...shooted.

The choke, when cold, was manually moved to the full open position and released. It did not close fully. It seemed like it didn’t have enough “spring force” to close it.

I shut it manually and it fired right up and the cam opened the choke as it warmed.

The next day I looked at it and the cam was returned to the cold position but the choke was not completely closed.

I thought the spring closed the choke, and the cam opened it it up as it warmed. Correspondingly, as it cools the cam move to the cold position and the spring closes the choke manually.

I am working and will watch the video when I get off. I appreciate the help!

Look at your other thread on the same subject for some pictures and info.

To put it into easy to understand English the "spring" heats up and unwinds and opens the ckoke when voltage is applied from the ignition system.

When you turn the key to OFF , the voltage is removed and the "spring" cools, winds back up and closes the choke

The fast idle cam mechanism doesn't apply to a marine Holley. Some of the parts are there and some aren't. It's non functional.

The Holley video in the other thread is for an automotive carburetor with a fast idle cam that's functional

In your case a guy named Otto is the fast idle cam. You start it and bump the speed up a little while it warms up

Chris,
Is the carb marine? It doesn't make a difference for adjusting the bimetallic choke spring but it may make a difference with your safety.
