Have you checked for spark when it doesn't start.?
Use a cheap inline spark tester like the ones in the link.

The Harbor Freight one works just fine along with the more expensive ones

link

Then you'll know if you should be looking at spark or fuel 

You can pull the flame arrestor off and see if a bunch of fuel is dripping down the venturis and flooding the engine after you shut it off.

You should have no drips.

Drips are bad, they'll flood the engine 

So...............check for spark and drips

	Hello, I have a 1982 Ski Nautique with the Ford 351 engine. A few months ago put the Pentronix 1581LS pointless ignition kit in. Stars great cold, runs just fine. Come back to shore station after at least 1/2hr. ride, will not restart. Any ideas? Thanks
