We just purchased a surtees with a BF60 outboard, had been sitting for 2 years so went straight to the dealer for flushing and servicing.
Replaced fuel pump and apparently ok. Also checked ECU, determined not faulty.
We picked it up today, took it for a test run and it ran fine at 5 knots, ok at half throttle in choppy conditions. Sat idle for a bit then went to take off slowly and motor died. Restarted ran for 20 secs died again. Etc etc, timing between dying was different each time nursing it back to the ramp.
Has Under floor fuel tank, primer bulb is new but doesn't want to refill easily.
Any ideas before we take it back tomorrow morning. BTW they had it for a week in the shop already
