I was out fishing the other day and the motor started great. I anchored a few times and it started back up with no issues. I tried starting it one last time (after about sitting about 20 minutes), and it wouldn't start. The motor would turn over fine and the carbs were getting gas, but it just wouldn't start. I tried holding the butterflies open, with the choke on and off, but it still wouldn't start. I had to be towed back to shore. It was idling and running fine. Any ideas?
