I have a 1989 Evinrude V6, model number E150TXCEM.<br /><br />The throtle has a bar on it that I thought was the choke, but have heard it is a high idle bar. The key on the unit pushes in, but I don't need to push the key in the turn it and start the engine.<br /><br />Currently I prime the ball, have the idle bar up and turn the key without pushing it in. When the motor catches, I lower the bar slowly and off I go. Trouble is, the motor is very hard to start and I thought I may be missing something.<br /><br />Can someone help my out with a cold start procedure?
