When you are starting it up is it smoking to beat the band? Was doing a bit of reading on issues similar to yours and I wonder if you have a needle and float sticking behind the efi, which could lead to an engine that is getting too much fuel and essentially flooding as you are trying to start it.
I am not familiar with the efi 2 stroke engines of that vintage and would assume there is a throttle advance you can do as well? If so, it also makes me wonder if the idle timing might be off a touch. I had a Johnson 50hp that would die on me at the dock and was hard starting. Took a timing light to the first plug wire and found my timing was retarded quite a bit...made the adjustment and it popped to life both cold and hot...
