reasently had trouble with my motor .it would start and go for a few hours but when i would shut it down it would be a bet stubern to start ,but when it started it would idle fine but when i put it in gear it would die.
i put all new plugs in,had the carbs cleaned,put a new fuel line from the tank on,checked all spark on all plugs witch was good.starting to run out of ideas,any help would be appreciated. its a 1983 evinrude 115 hp motor

thanks Dennis

Check for spark on all 4 plug wires when it is hard to start. Possible for weak ignition components to fail, once the engine heats up to normal operating temps. If the spark is solid, then it's a fuel issue.
