Sounds like a power pack issue.

manual start. the carbs are good. the motor runs fine when im going but if i kill it and try to start it up again it dont want to start. i have to wait a lil bit and then it'll start n run fine again. almost seems like it gets heated and then has to cool down to start it back up. i am not sure jus thinking over here.

Why I was asking about fuel delivery. Sounds almost like a vapor lock. Don't quote me but I've seen it do that in cars before and I know it's not a car but sounds similar in symptoms.

How about more info about the engine.
Brand, HP, carbed, permanent tank/6 gal. tank... ect.
Lot of time when the power pack goes out, one or more cylinders won't fire, or it won't start at all.
This sounds like fuel to me.
Could also be a flooding issue, if it is carbed.
If it is the newer electronic fuel injected and electronic ignition, it will be tough to figure out without a computer hooked up to it.

Running a yamaha 150 carbed that does the same thing. I believe it is getting flooded when try g to start since the choke is easily engaged when turning the key over.

Not likely. I'd almost bet that it's fuel related. Either flooding or starvation.

It can be several things,without a mechanic looking at it its a guess. Sounds like carb or fuel pump problems.
