    So your getting 12 volts to the outboard from the battery? That's a dead battery. Maybe you left something on. Please clarify.

    If you don't need the "squirt choke" to start it it's probably running to rich. Get a spark jump tester and see how far the arc will jump. Might have weak coils or corroded wires. Carb is the most likely culprit though.... Ethanol, old gas stations, fuel filter, yada yada yada...

    Yes gentle taps or remove carb drain bolt and shoot carb cleaner in there. As for the pictures, you can go to camera settings and dial back on the quality to send faster but most likely it's your Internet speed. Crosbyman might have better advice.
