Hi,<br /><br />I recently purchased a 1990 Cajun Fish & Ski with a Merc 150 XR4 hanging off the end of it. I've taken it out once and I had a hard time getting it to start. The guy I bought it from told me to turn the key and push it in for 10 counts (pushing the key is some sort of choke). After that go ahead and turn the key further to get it to start...it wouldn't. <br /><br />So, I tried to crank it about 10 times with no luck...Finally, I lifted this lever on the throttle casing that said 'Fast Idle'. And then it started. <br /><br />Of course, after it was warm, it started great, first try everytime...<br /><br />Should I start it with the fast idle on? Should I use the bulb in the fuel line to sort of prime things? Any other ideas?<br /><br />Thanks a lot!<br /><br />Jeff
