[QUOTE="CMOS, post: 395871, member: 15462"] Howdy All, I have a very well running 1963 Johnson 9.5, but I am perplexed as to how it behaves (starting) when the outside temperature is hot here in Texas, 90-100 degrees. I first got this motor running in winter of 2015. Cold starts are done as usual: prime, choke, throttle to neutral hard stop, pull. Works well. In the summer when the outside temperature is hot, boat just put in the water, this motor seems to only start with no choke (understandable) and with the throttle only in the lowest "Shift" position. Meaning, if I advance the throttle to the neutral hard stop, it floods and will not start. I can literally smell the excess fuel in this position. Back off the throttle to the "idle" or Shift position, and she starts after 4-6 pulls. Runs like a scalded dog all day long. So, why doesn't this motor start with the throttle in the "START" position? I would think it would start easier due to the timing being slightly advanced, in comparison to the "Shift" position. Thoughts? CMOS [/QUOTE]
