I have a 15 hp motor that hasn't been started in only two months. I took it out this morning and three pulls it starts. I leave the choke on for awhile so it can warm up, and when it did, I pushed the choke in and it died in 10 seconds. So I repeat this process over and over again until I was confident that it was warmed up a bit. (the water coming out was hot) When it started I pushed the choke in, and once again it died. Does it sound like I need a carbeurator cleaning, or does it sound like I have way too much water in my gas? Thanks

sounds like you might have a fuel prob there, opti might have some other ideas about it.

Ok, I did as instructed to, and all worked well for a bit.. Now while it's running I can hear and see sparks shooting out lightly from one of my spark plug boots. They're brand new wires..
Looks like it's coming out where the boot meets the plug. As soon as it starts to spark, then it dies. Any ideas? Thanks
