"My 25 HP starts reliably ever

"My 25 HP starts reliably every time I back it off the trailer. It runs well. After running down the lake, shutting it off, and fishing for 5 or 10 minutes it does not want to start. I hit the starter and it barely stays running until I advance the throttle then she is good to go. Sometimes it conks out before I can get the throttle advanced. If I fish for 30 minutes or more after shutting it off, and hit the starter it fires right up and runs well. I am confused. Tank and hose are brand new. Once it is started it seems to idle just fine. Any ideas?"
 
Are you by any chance choking

Are you by any chance choking it after sitting for 5 or 10 min? If so you do not need to.
 
No choking it. A lot of times

No choking it. A lot of times it will take 5 - 8 times hitting the starter and trying to advance the throttle quick enough for it to keep running before I can keep it running. Once it is going she runs like a top.
