Re: Carb problem Are you saying after a 20 min ride on the trailer it won't start, or a 20 min boat ride it won't start? Is it running & then dies & won't start again, or after you shut it off it won't start again?

Re: Carb problem Sounds like it's allergic to water.

Re: Carb problem Sounds like a float issue to me where bouncing on the trailer is spilling over into the intake then the combustion chamber. You may also have trash in the needle but that would likely cause it to run rich on the water. Suggest you pull the fuel bowl and check the float out.
