Hi. I own an 84 Merc 50 hp. She fires up great when first starting up. However, after reaching my destination, and fishing for awhile, when restarting, she's very stubborn... engine turns over good, but hard to fire 'er up again (The fuel tank is open, bulb seems firm) Eventually she'll start, but sometimes only after I've flooded the engine and then I have to wait until the fuel "evaporates"... any ideas, remedies? Thanks.
