I have a 1991 Yamaha 250TXRP that is regularly serviced with 1048 hours. Lately it has had start-up issues after running for a while (example, boating for hours to different fishing stops, then when I attempt to fire it up and move to another location it will not start). It attempts to start but will not crank over, sometimes after a full day of use. The next morning it will fire up on the first try. I then noticed that if I tilt the outboard up a bit it fires up perfectly, almost as if it is being flooded and the tilt up clears the carburetor? Any ideas?
