hi im new here and i have 5.7L mercruiser alha drive with thunderbolt ignition its in my 92 sea ray 22o overnighter. im not ver mechanically inclined when it comes to boats but heres my problem. ive always had to push in the choke bouton on the side of the throttle and push the throttle forward to get it started and let it warm up at around 2000 rpm for 5 min than when i slowly bring it down it well idles just fine but today i just could not idle it everytime i would try and pull the throttle back it would just die on me. it tends to die around 100o rpm i can idle with the throttle a 1/2 inch aboce closed throttle. now im pissed cause its the 4th and i had a boat load of pretty ladies looking for a rid now they got pissed and left and im here on the net trying to figure this dumb **** out so please any help would be great
