I am having some problems with my motor and was wondering if i could get some ideas as to what the problem might be.

The motor has less than 200 hours on it, when I try to start it, it starts right up but then dies, this happens continuously. Anytime it has been sitting for a while.
If I keep at it for a while it will keep running.

The kill switch is not working properly, if it gets pulled the motor continues to run. is it possible for these problems to be linked?

Did you pump up fuel primer bulb, check choke plates are closing completely, check for spark at plugs.

Thanks for your response.
I did pump up the bulb, I will check the choke plates and for spark the next time I am at the lake. That will be a week from today.
