Hi,
I need help diagnosing this problem. The engine starts OK, and runs fine for a few minutes, but eventually it starts stalling out and slowly dies. I can re-start it with some effort after it dies.
Unfortunately this motor gets very little use, it is fitted on my sailboat, so I only use it when launching or returning, and I only get the boat out in the water a couple times a year. It has been a couple years since she's been in the water.
I had mixed up fresh gas, so I don't think that is the issue. I'm careful to get non-ethanol gas and I put stabilizer it in, and I always dump the tank at the beginning of each boating year and put in a few gallons of fresh mixed gas.
