1994 gamefisher 15hp

[reltznad]

i have a 1994 15hp gamefisher and it is so finicky. pump the bulb, choke it, pull it a couple times and it cranks and runs great. shut it off, crank it again and it runs great. shut it off and pull until you are stupid and it won't even stumble. check everything a dozen times and find nothing. 3 days later pull first time and it crannks and runs great. runs flawlessly for 5 minutes. shut it off and pull until you are stupid again for a week and then all of a sudden it cranks and runs great for a minute.. then dead again.. anyone have any ideas? carb rebuilt twice, new fuel lines and bulb, new water pump.. seconds away from becoming an anchor.....

thanks for the info.. i'll see what i can find in the way of coils for it. i do know that boat mechanics around here laugh at me when they find out what model motor i have. i'll let you know what happens
