1990 Evinrude V4 flooding

[crestlinermusky]

I have a 1990 Evinrude 90 hp that has run excellent up to today
The motor starts cold right away and runs great but when you stop it for more than 5
minutes, If you stop the engine and restart right away it will start but wait 5 or ten minutes and the motor
will not start , you see the fuel on the water, If you let the motor sit for at least 20 mins she will start again but
you see the carbs covered in fuel. Before I dismantle the carbs. Is there anything that jumps out at what I have told you that
I should check first.
When you get the motor restarted it runs fine until you stop it again
I'm not sure where to start first

Every body wants to start with the carburetors it seems.------But I would take apart / look at the starter motor first.-----Then load test the battery.-----Oh ---Forgot I always suggest a compression test on a V-4 or V-6 crossflow too.----Just for future reference.

Ok, Just put on a new battery, checked the compression. it is all good
122 123 122 121 on all the cyl
It starts first shot but runs a little rough
