Starting procedure is likely the problem.
You gotta nearly flood them to start them - SOP.

As crazy as this sounds, it is exactly the way to start these 'towers of
power". The problem is the size of the holes in the choke plates and one
of these days I'm gonna solder them shut to see if that doesn't cure it
on this (and many other older) Merc models.

Choke plates are plastic on the towers. (and I think solid)

The throttle butterflys have holes.

Hey, thanks, guys. I'll pass this along to my Dad. He has
the boat down on Johnathon Creek. He says that the engine will start
within an hour after having run it for a bit; but, it won't start
cold. The folks at the repair shop were clueless (go figure).

Regards
