Default will not idle and..

I have a 2004 Johnson 150, here is what's going on (or not). When I first put it in the water it will idle fine, make a run to fish short or long, shut off, could be off for a while or not doesn't make any difference start up motor 90% of the time it will not idle,but a slight few times it will idle just perfect. Now make a short run or long to wherever and most of the time it will idle fine, but cut off motor and here we go again. This is the weird part, I can leave it off overnight in a slip ect. and when I go to start up it won't idle again, I have to play with it for a while, while I am playing with it, it will not take the fuel sometimes (rev up out of gear)if I leave it off for a couple of days it will start and idle fine. Also when it doesn't want to idle it will sputter a couple of times then cut out. I have been told it could be the plugs and or the anti-siphon vale. Any help would be appreciated.
Also have any of you had prob. with the plastic thru-hull fittings. Mine are breaking off right at the mushroom head. I am ordering solid S.S. to replace all of them. I even had to change two of them a week ago, all I could find localy was the plastic and guess what theare craking already.
On both of these contacting the dealer is of no use, we have a sea boss...and no I am not going to go there again LOL (do a search for sea boss and you will see my post and understand why the dealer is no help)
Thanks again for your help
