The A4 would NOT keep running while using the choke when it conked out that time.

I changed the spark plugs at the beginning of the year but did not check them after this happened. I guess I should.

When I went back to the boat the other day and tested the engine, it started right up with the choke on and then when it warmed up after a couple seconds I could shut the choke off and idle the engine just fine. I looked closely at the carb and noticed that there appeared to be a sheen of gas on the outside of the carb (late model) under the bowl where the main drain plug is. I could not tell exactly where the gas was coming from. I have ordered a bunch of carb parts and gaskets from Moyer and will take it apart over the weekend and check it out.
