    What is the main cause of an outboard that's hard to start again after it's already warm

    I have 8 outboards with interchangeable parts. They all start the same, with exception to this one. There parts are there, and free to swap, minus a little labor, with exception to new plugs. I figured this way it's a process of elimination.

    Thanks for your replies. I checked the spark. It was questionable. Sometimes would , sometimes wouldn't . Changed the CDI and Coils from a known working motor. Still hard to start. Bought brand new plugs. Still hard to start. How do I check for high fuel level

    The seller says the 2 liter ultrasonic dish is : 5" x 5" x 3.25" It narrows at the bottom to 4" X 4" x 3.25" Would this fit a carb , or would I have to flip it and clean twice .

    Would purchasing an ultrasonic cleaner solve the issue. Have my eye on a brand new 2 liter unit with heater for under $80 How do you adjust the float.

    Craigslist scammers ? or am I being paranoid?

    If you are selling something, make the buyer jump through YOUR hoops. Ask for a phone number - no number no reply . Speak to them - you can tell who is serious and who isn't . Ask them to come to you - Give them an address near your home. Look out the window . If they don't show up, don't...
