I have seen Honda's act like that from varnish, will it run longer with the choke on? I would imagine you have tried that, unless it has some kind of automatic choke. It could also be an ignition problem, I had an older outboard than had similar symptoms and it was a condenser, but I imagine this one is electronic, but it still had a condenser. If it were mine I would put some Sea Foam in it and take the air filter off. Then start it and dribble enough fuel into the carb to keep it running. I have special bottle that I use to safely dribble a small amount of fuel with. If it will run continuous that way it means it's not ignition and probably varnish in the fuel system, and the Sea Foam should take care of that. The only time I ever used fuel stabilizer it seemed to cause more problems than none, so no more for me.
