warm starting issue

[kpelham]

I have a mercury 200 outboard I believe its a 1992. 6 cylinder motor. It starts fine when you first start it but after you run it in the lake for 5 min or longer and you shut it off it will not start. It turns over has spark but will not run? Any ideas

three things needed. spark, fuel, compression. if you have spark, you have two of the 3.

check for vapor lock (fuel)
