I read the same thing in my Westerbeke manual, and follow the recommended
procedure. Not surprisingly, the manufacturers know what they are talking
about.

FWIW, on my Westerbeke, the owner's manual recommends starting with throttle
wide open. Don't know about Yanmar. It helped a lot when I started doing
that. I guess it's good to read the manual sometimes.

My 3GMF (20hp) does the same thing. When I first start it I give it full
throttle, and it starts fine. After a race, it starts fine with no advanced
throttle. I just assume the fuel is flowing back in the line, and it's taking
a while to get to the engine. Some day I'll tighten all the fuel line fittings.

What causes it to start poorly? To start it we have to give it full
throttle. One more clue is that when it first fires some white smoke comes
out..
