Slow starting Yamaha

[Guest]

I have a '95 50 hp Yamaha 2 stroke that does not start very well. Once it is warmed up it run great but it usually takes 10 to 15 tries to get it running. In the shop manual that I bought it talks about something that sounds like an automatic choke ( it adjusts the richness of the mixture when the motor is cold). Could this need adjustment or is there some trick to starting a cold 2 stroke.

PS I would like to thank everyone one this site for all of the great info they have provided me. This is my first boat and I have learned a ton from you guys.

Thanks.
