Hi;
Boat starts up great, runs out of gear fine, warms up, revs good. But then if I put it under load it runs ok for a minute or so with good power, but then slowly shuts down. No amount of throttling back and forth will stop it from shutting off.
I can restart it fine, but same deal, shuts down after a minute under load. If I sort of baby it a bit and gradually increase power under load it will run fine, usually about try 3. Runs fine the rest of the day, restarts fine.
Just happens on first start of the day.
I just changed both fuel filters. Gas was old, but I added 2/3rds of a tank of fresh and some Stabil and SeaFoam. Gas appears clean and clear, no water in separator. Same deal.
I guess my next chore would be to clean the carb... or just keep adding some more new gas and see if if stops it?
Ideas?
TIA,
Jack
