Sputtering a few times has been, to me, and indication that a condenser is going or gone. One or two sparks at hand cranking speed is an indication of coil condition, not condenser health. Exact symptoms wore me out on a Johnson last month. You have a two cylinder motor with only one condenser. That sounds like a time saving opportunity!

When you start with the needle valve closed, and open it in increments, do you run the carb dry first? If the float is hanging up, or the seat is leaking, the carb will flood. Try it with the tank valve off.

Best of luck!
