My procedure, once you getting running.
put an ounce of sea foam into a quart of fresh, non ethanol based premium chevron gasoline.
Start the motor up. Let it run choked for 2 or 3 minutes. Shut the motor down. Repeat the next day, 2 or 3 minutes. Shut down.
Do a week or two of this procedure. If the motor doesn't improve with position of choke and the motor running, replace the jets on the carb.
It takes soaking, and time, to soften up and remove the built up varnish.
If replacing the jets on the carb doesn't fix it, look up stream to the fuel tank, and anything in between the fuel tank, fuel cut off valve, any filters, and the carburetor.
If all else fails, replace the carb. Would not be surprised if time at sea has corroded the brass in the jets of the carb, at all, from the salt ions in the water and in the air. Salt is corrosive as all get up on brass, and brass jets.
