I have a 2001 Merc 225 EFI with about 150 hrs on it, new plugs & fuel filter. Crank position sensor air gap is set at about .026". The motor will not start in the basic neutral/idle position but will start and runs fine if I bump the throttle up just a little. It idles at 650/700 in forward and seems to run smoothly and with full power. It seems to fire at basic nuetral/idle but just will not continue to run without the starter driving it, hot or cold. It needs just a small increase in trottle position. Any ideas before I send it to the shop?<br /><br />Thanks,<br /><br />Willy B
