"Hello all -
The (almost) new GF has a pontoon with a 1993 Mariner Magnum 40HP 4 cylinder/2 stroke on it.
The engine seems to me to be a little hard to start. It idles OK, but not particularly smoothly. The real problem is that when trying to shift it into gear it always stalls. She has been running premixed fuel along with whatever oil the injection system contributes, so that explains the fouled plugs. Cleaning the plugs really doesn't help the stalling, though.
Since this (the engine, not the girlfriend) is about 40 years newer than what I'm used to playing with, I need some advice and direction. What are the most likely culprits and fixes that I should be looking at?
She's really pretty (the girlfriend, not the engine) so I'd like to make happy with this one.
