I recently bought an 82 merc 50 with electric start . The previous owner took me for a quick spin and it runs great....however i never really watched his starting procedure and i seem to flood it everytime i start it up when it is cold. After it has started initially and ran a bit it is only a flick of the key and it starts. Here is what i have been doing: squeeze fuel ball until firm......push in electric choke and turn over until it catches but it runs breifly then dies....i add throttle and then have to keep turning it over until it starts and sometimes by then it floods. Any advise on this would be appreciated. Thanks
