Hello Everyone,
Looking for some technical guidance on my outboard please. Been using in lightly this year in the salt water ponds on the southern coast of RI. Went to go for a little ride this past weekend, it seemed to start OK as usual, seemed to be OK, got it out of the water to warm it up and it started to bog down then stall. Started it back up, same thing, bogged down then stall. So I ran home and came back with new fuel filters. Replaced the small one in the cowl of the engine and also a dewatering/fuel filter on the boat. Started it up, seems to start OK, was running rough still, seemed to smoke a little more than usual, then stalled. I then tried hooking it up to a 2.5 Gal portable gas/oil tank of fresh mix, same thing.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! I've been maintaining this engine for 20 years now, on this I'm stumped.
