Hey well my outboard when i get it started which i have never been able to not get it started on the boat ramp thats when it always seems to start. Then after i have ran it for about five to ten minutes get to my fishing hole and fish in that spot for an hour or two. Then its time to move again but i cant because it wont start back up for me again the other day i tried for an hour on intervals to not flood it and had to trolley back a couple of miles and then it did it later that night. I have no clue what to do because when it is running it runs great. I have new plugs in it about 2 weeks old ran carb cleaner through it.

Pull the carbs and clean and put kits in them..Carb cleaner won't get the inside clean.Welcome to the site.

so basically i need to over haul the carbs. I was thinking about that but if they had a problem how is it still running good i mean it runs real good. Its just after i run it and fish for an hour or two hours it wont start but i try the carbs. Were can i find kits for those carbs.
