You have flooding symptoms. To check this, when you want to stop the motor, unplug the fuel line and let the motor die out. If this makes your problem go away, have the carburetor rebuilt.

We build fast custom RIBs - see www.explorermarine.co.uk - and are Evinrude dealers - though now they are all electronic direct injection and computers.

I would do a few simple tests on the spark plug - back at the dock - to determine whether it is flooding on hot start, Choke, spark etc?.

I also use another good forum at : www.boatdesignnet.com and list under outboards.

Good luck

Have the coils checked usually a coil will act-up when it gets hot!

Thank you to everyone for all your help. We took the boat down the shed last night to flush the motor and check it out and unfortunately/fortunately the motor ran perfectly for my Hubby. Apparently I had been starting it wrong...a simple error, which made it difficult for the motor to turn over. Now hoping my rowing days are over and I'm going to get it back in the water this week. Thanks again for all your advice, which I have copied and saved in case I need it in the future.
