    If the float is set correct and looks ok I wouldn’t think that it is an issue. So are you still running it with 1/2 choke? I’ve had similar symptoms before of a failing ignition… but that wouldn’t explain the need for choke. If it isn’t a big deal i’d get some fresh gas and take it for a spin… as long as you have a way of getting back to the dock! lol… I’ve had good luck with seafoam gas additive to clean up carbs and combustion chambers.

    A little information is a dangerous thing!
