Take ALL of your electrical connectors and spark plug boot loose and apply dielectric grease to them. This helps a great deal. I finally added an exhaust snorkel to my HMF and it runs all day when submerged.

Also look at the carb vents...the open ends need to be out of the water. They might not be routed right.
