I have a 2006 Briggs and Stratton 5hp 4500 outboard engine. The engine cranks fine every time. I pull the choke out then put the throttle in the correct position and the engine cranks right up every time. However sometimes after I have given it time to warm and push the choke in the engine will shut off. If I leave the choke out and rev the engine higher than the start position (which is the throttle's middle setting) the engine may or may not sputter and will backfire.
So today, I replaced the fuel filter and now I can push the choke in after the engine warms up (filter may have not really fixed the choke problem), but the engine still sputters and backfires.
Before I have the engine serviced, I'd like to get some advice from some Briggs and Stratton outboard owners.
