My dad is having trouble with his boat motor. He has a 1988 50 hp mercury outboard. It is a 3 cylinder engine with oil injection. He has removed the the oil injection and is now just mixing the oil with the gas. Below in quotes is the e-mail I got from him today.

"After running on the water smoothly, I shut it off for 15 minutes -- when I try to re-start, it seems to flood. Sometimes I choke it, sometimes I don't.

See what you can find out."
