I have a 9.8 4 stroke Tohatsu it starts on the first or second pull every time. ( 5 years it has been a great motor) last Oct I ran all the fuel out of the engine, fuel line and tank and put it up for the winter. Last week I got the motor out, new fuel, starts 2nd pull with choke on. Shuts down and the starts 1st pull without choke on. After running for 4 -5 min it floods out and Shuts down. I know it is fooding as fuel is running /dripping off and out of carburetor. I read on this site to let it sit and
And if it is the float it may break loose. I tried it for 4 days last week.
Today I removed and cleaned the carburetor. Put it back on and again started very easily, after running well for a few minutes it boggs down and as fuel starts dripping from the carburetor it shunts off.
Can someone help? I have seen a wizard name Paul on this site who seems to have great advice.
Thanks
Jim
