2001 LS2000 Throttles Falls Back To Idle Position

I just purchased the boat back in March 2016. It worked great when I tested it and have since had to fix a few things on it. Everything works well now except for a few issues. So far, I have replaced the spark plug wires, bypassed the oil injection system and now mix the oil with the fuel, cleaned the carbs and installed a new primer system. Prior to doing all of this, the boat would take 30 minutes to crank and it would stall a few times throughout the day.


Remaining issues:
1. RPM on the port side Tach operates about 2000 RPM's higher more than the other.
2. The throttles have to be held in position by hand the entire time while driving the boat or it will fall back to idle.
3. It still take about 5-10 minutes to crank
4. It stalls out at idle when leaving the marina.

Any help is greatly appreciated!
