I have a Nissan 8HP 4 Stroke outboard that I bought last year. Put 20 hours on it last year and it ran flawlessly. Fogged and stored motor for winter. Ran perfect this year (about 5 Hrs) until this weekend. It ran fine out to destination. When leaving it started right up and we were underway when suddenly died. It would start under choke then just die when throttling it from idle. Left vent open on gas tank during heavy rainy week thinking it may be moisture in gas causing problem. So replaced gas with fresh gas and still same problem. THe engine when idling will cycle up then almost stall then cycle up again. Is it a dirty carb?
