I had a 5.7L I/O, and I always had to 'pump' the throttle two or three

throttle down to idle.

Sounds about like my old 5.7L. Fuel injection has cured all that,
well worth the cost.

Mine was a '97. They probably went to fuel injection a couple months after
mine was made!

BTW, did you see my message 'over there' about Eleuthera?
