Missing when cold

Hi
I have a 30hp Tohatsu that misses bad when cold. It runs fine when warm but when cold you can't put it into gear without cutting out. the motor starts easy and runs well. Just takes forever to warm up.
Does anyone have any ideas as to this problem. I have had the motor serviced.
Thank all.

Thumbs up Happy

Hi Guys
I found the problem, the petrol hose was sucking air where it connected to the tank. I borrowed a hose from a friend and the motor went without a miss. I only found the problem because I left the tank connected on a hot day with the air vent closed and found some petrol leaking from the tank connection.
Thanks to all that tried to help.
Good Fishin.
