I put a tune up kit in, replaced the plugs, drained the gas, new fuel/water seperater and rebuilt the carb. It ran fine before all this then wouldn't start the next day. Followed the timing setting guide. When it finally starts it runs great for about thirty seconds then dies. Sometimes it floods while trying to start and sometimes it doesn't get enough gas. It will spin over freely almost like no compression, flooded is my guess, then I keep cranking then the motor seems to build compression and either will start or backfire like crazy. Few minutes later bam.....she runs but only for 30 seconds and then dies. The float was set to spec on the carb rebuild but I have messed around in both directions a little bit to see if it makes a difference and it seems to have little to no effect. I'm am baffled. I really need some help. Trying to get out on the water tomorrow!!!!
