Suzuki dt40 will not start

[Akery]

I just bought a small boat with a late 80's Suzuki dt40. I took it out and it would shut off after a few minutes. I got it home and cleaned the carb, it ran great for a minute and now it will not start, changed the plugs and same thing. I see the the timing numbers on the fly but do not see a timing mark. Is the top cylinder the top dead center? Please reply with any ideas. thanks
