I recently bought an aluminum fishing boat the motor runs great, when it starts. The motor starts up with only when it is a cold start, however after running the boat for a while and turning off the motor it will not restart after at least a good 15 min. rest period. After my own inspections, I wanted to explain that I am using regular unleaded with 50:1 mix 2-cycle outboard oil, I recently bought a deep cycle battery that meets the manufacturer recommendations, and I have checked spark plug gap as well as visibly inspecting the motor and all looks fine. The motor does not seem to have any abnormal leaks while running and the water pump seems to cycle water without problems. Does anyone have anyother ideas for why the motor doesn't want to restart after it has warmed up. Could it be a carb problem or possibly a starter solenoid problem? If anyone has any ideas, I would appreciate any positive recommendations. Thanks.
