"hi again,
my 85 mariner 40 EL works fine until i go for a longer trip, about 20min with 2/3 trottle. if i slow down its all fine until i get as slow that i only use the idle speed of the engine to maneuver towards the pier. and that is the point where she dies suddenly. i then cant even start her except pulling the idle leaver up a little. if i then have her going again its fine for a while. then she dies again. in general do i not have any start problems. 99% of the time i turn the key once and choke her for a second or two and pull the idle leaver a little bit. the worm engine starts just by turning the key once straight away. it seems to be a problem only after a longer run at higher speed. any suggestions ?
