I NEED HELP! My motor I just bought looks brand spakin' new. Even the motor has the original paint in top condition. I am convincd it has very low hours. But when I start it, it starts good when I just get it in the water, but it will then die no matter how long i warm it up. If it dies when it is in the start position, it will start back up fine with only one pull. The problem is that I usually kill the motor in the low shift position and when that happens, I have to choke the carb, pump the bulb and pull twice to get it to run. If not, it will not even try to start and leak gas everywhere (flooding). What's wrong with it? Even when I do this, Gas floods everywhere!!

Time to open up the carb and clean it.<br />Sound like it's has a bad case of varnish in it.
