Question about an outboard that won't run wet - Please help!
 

I have a Johnson 25 horse, that runs like a scalded dog... However, once you
run it for a little while, and then shut down, it will NOT restart. If I take
the boat back home, and let it sit for a couple days, then go back out - same
thing. Starts after 4 or 5 pulls, runs fine... then after you shut down it will
not restart.

I believe I may be getting water in the engine somehow, but I'm not really a
mechanic. Anyone out there have an idea what to check?

Sincerely,
