"Hi Guys,
I just bought a boa
"Hi Guys,
I just bought a boat last weekend. The boat/motor was not used for over 2 yrs. The motor seems to run fine for first 10-15 mins or so but dies after that. I know it definately happens at full throttle but haven't run the boat enough to know if it happens at lower rpms as well. Anyways, it Starts again on second or third try but runs unreliably after that with same symptoms. Any idea what could be wrong ?? Could varnish buildup or carbon deposits cause these symptoms or the problem is musch worst ?? What else should I be looking for ?? Should I try fuel stabilizer to cleanup varnish or carbon cleaners in fuel ?? Thanks."
