My engine (I have since sold the boat) would never start from cold without using the cold start button. Same as for you, the engine would start instantly and race. I would pull the throttle back quickly and the engine would then often die. On the second attempt I was usually able to keep it running. Once running, it worked perfectly.

I posted a question last year to the forum, asking what the cold start button actually does, but no-one seemed to know.

I suspect the cold start problem may be a priming issue, or a bit of air somewhere, but I have sold the boat and may never discover.

I know that some Lehmann owners do not have to use the cold start button.

Good luck!
Regards,
Nick
