I've owned and operated my dinghy for many years and, at times, have had lots of frustration at difficult starting of my 5hp. Engine too cold, engine too hot, not enough fuel, too much fuel, too much choke, not enough choke....you get the picture. Recently I took out the carburetor to clean it (yet again) and a friend recommended that I replace the carburetor and begin ONLY using ethanol free fuel. In addition he recommended running it dry prior to ending of weekends. I have had no problems ever since. It starts each and every time with 1 pull and idles beautifully. I hope this advice helps any other frustrated dinghy owners out there.
