50hp Force is hard to start

[TOMMYTJC]

I am having trouble starting a 50hp Force outboard,no. 507f4a, 1457. Sometimes if I switch the plug wires it will start and run fine untill I stop the engine and try to start again. It cranks fine and I have replaced the plugs several times. I put the hotest recommended plug in. Please tell me where to begin to find the problem.

Maybe you should try a "colder" plug.
