I just got my boat out of the shop. I had new spark pulgs, Flywheel, points, coils, water pump, cyl head, head gasket, carb rebuilt, used started put in. and low speed needle, I think that is what it says on the invoice. I am new to boating. I paid 1069.00 in parts and labor was told the money was worth it it was a very good engine I just needed to get a good battery. We took it out today and could not get it to start. It idles once for about 10 seconds and then died. It looked like it was leaking fuel in the water. If anyone has any help they can give before I take it back to the shop, it would be greatly appreciated::)

sounds either like you flooded it. or the float needle is stuck open.
