79' 140hp hard to start when warm

[VA.LAKEMAN]

Hello again all.well this is the weirdest thing that i have ever tryed figuring out.here what it does.starts with ease,and runs flawlessly for however long intill you sit for more than 15 min. And try to restart again.if i were to cut it off and start it soon after it would start and run just as good,but once it sets it will flood so bad(it seems) i can barley get it started.then it will start,and when i raise the warm up lever it will run great intill i put it in gear and try to go and then it just loads up and dies....where would you start if it were you boat guys?

I must add that I use the cold start procedure every time I use the boat as well.

do not choke a warmed engine. just the fast idle lever if necessary.

If I dont choke it,it wont start.So what does that make you think is wrong?
