So if the motor sits for a few hours or days it will fire up and run just fine. Get to the spot fish and want to move and it’ll flood and not start. Sometimes it will start a second or third but it’ll eventually flood and not start.. the fuel will pool up in the carb. Plugs will darn near be dripping wet. If it sits for a night it’ll fire up in the morning but all happen again... it’ll start with no choke when it does start.
not sure if it’s something in the carb.. took the carb apart and seemed or looked clean. Not sure if it could be the fuel pump or something with the fuel line.. it is a newer fuel line.
the plugs are brand new and they they get a good spark.
Even more oDd I had the carb off and pulled it to check spark and the darn thing fired up and ran for a bit on the fuel in it and would t start with the carb on no more than 10 minutes earlier. Any ideas or help would be amazing. Thank you

Sorry no it’s a manual start with a primer bulb. I’m not super knowledgeable but it’s a short shaft 2 cylinder.
