dont no whats going on here but yesterday she ran fine she was hard to start but once she was running she fired up all day no prob. so woke up early this morn to go out fishing and she would not fire up kicked twice and almost strated but didnt had to pull the boat out but yesterday it ran good what the hell is goin on i have plenty of fuel plenty of spark i dont no what goin on. why would it start hard then run fine once it was running and turn off and start right back up once it was warm i dont get it could it be a carb problem maybe a float sticking or something or even worse i think i may have seen something that looked like water on the plugs when i pulled them but she has plenty of competion could it still be a head gasget? then i thought well if it was a head gascet it would still run but it would blow smoke so i'm fustrated does anyone have any ideas.

check your compression with a guage. also spark with a spark tester 1/2 in at least. all cylinders not just one.
