I have a 1982 35 hp evin. with a hard starting problem every now and then. When I first start it ,it runs fine I take off full bore and stop in about 15 minutes then fish for 10 minutes and it won't start.I pull up high idle lever and it starts but when I lower the idle down it falls on its face. I put a spark tester during this and it is getting spark all during this ordeal!! So I am thinking it is fuel related??I switched tanks and same thing.If I baby this motor all day it will run just fine without missing a lick.I am going out today and buy a new fuel line and primerbulb assembly and give it a try.I also rebuilt the carb. but it was as clean as a pin and that wasn't the problem. I also bought a new fuel pump and that wasn't the trouble either.Any ideas????/ thanks
