"My boat start the second it h
"My boat start the second it hits the water. Not one second of a problem. I cruise at about 3500 rpm for about 30-40 minutes. Temp gets to about 150. I anchor and go swimming for say about an hour or so. Then when I try to start the boat, it is very hard. Sometimes it took almost full throttle to get it started. Now it is even harder. I spray starter fluid into the carb and it still has trouble. It does idle bad until it gets hot and sometimes even then does not idle great. Boat runs great otherwise. I am a novice at working on sterndrives. Have always had an outboard until now. Not that I ever worked on the outboard myself. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks for your time"
