My 2007 Mercruiser 3.0 will only start with throttle slightly advanced, once i put the throttle lever in neutral the motor spits/sputters then dies. After it runs for about 5 min with the throttle slightly advanced i am then able to bring the throttle back to neutral and it idles perfect. Once i returned to the dock i shut off the motor, then started up again about 5 or so minutes later and same scenario occurred. Boat runs great other wise with no hesitation or bogging down. I recently bought this boat so i have ordered a new fuel filter for starters and will soon do a full tune up. Hoping for some advice to fix this start up issue.
