if its got a carb your accelerator pump might have gone bad, if its hard to crank the first time and falls on its face when you revv it up its likely a problem in your carb.Aside from that i second 882001's suggestion tune that thing up, if the timings off you can make slight adjustments to it yourself , find the distributer on the intake and loosen but dont remove the bolt that holds it in , with the boat running grab distributer at the base and slowly turn it clockwise and see if the motors idle smooths out : make very very small adjusttments when you turn it and do it slowly
