Hello,
I just picked up my first boat and had an issue on the maiden voyage. The engine would stall after 1500rpm, but in neutral it would rev all the way no problem. After 3hrs of trying everything I went home. The fuel mixture was mixed at 50:1. When I got the home I hooked up the muffs revved her up and put in gear and it worked perfectly. She starts right up and sounds strong in the driveway. I asked the previous owner if he had experienced this and he said if that happens to hold the key in while pushing down the throttle. I'm taking her out again this weekend. Carb issue? Sould I try seamfoam?
