Looking for suggestions. I rebuilt my entire motor. Rebuilt the mechanical fuel pump and the carb on my 1977 Catalina 30 as well.
Motor starts within 3 sec of turning the key and sounds smooth. Very happy with the rebuild.The issue is this.
The motor runs for 15 minutes and stalls out without any warning. Stalls very quickly, only 1 to 2 seconds and its gone, no warning.I turn the key, and it immediately starts up. If I run the motor at idiol speed with the boat in gear, it will run and not stall. Any more fuel than that and after a few minutes, but not right away, it will stall and then will be able to start right back up.
Not really sure what is out of whack. Any opinions as to where to start.And by the way, today I by- passed all the fuel filters and tank and used a 5 gal plastic tank and went direct to the carb to eliminate that part of it.Same old.
Thanks
