I waited 15-20 mins for the engine to cool down and she re-starts... This happened 4 times same thing every time, as I took her home to her new port.

First, welcome to the Forum!

A few questions...
The 4 times it happened:
did it always run ok at lower RPM until you reached above 1400?

And to be clear:
it stumbles and then dies rather than shuts down suddenly (like turning off the ignition) right?

Do you know how old your exhaust system is?
