I just got this boat and took it out Memorial weekend. It started up fine drove around the lake parked it in a cove to fish. Hour later started fine again went to the middle of lake to let the kids swim. Time to go home and the engine wouldn't idle. The only way I could start it was full choke and the push in choke. Took it home and replaced spark plugs and fuel filter. Started it up the next day in the drive way and it ran great. Went back out on the lake and it didn't want to run. I worked on it for 2 hours floating. I don't know what I touched but it started up and ran like a champ for a couple more hours. Took it home thought the problem was solved. Wife and kids went with me the next day and it happened again I almost had to be towed back in. When it started to run fine. I ended up towing in someone else. I'm pretty mechanically inclined so my next guess would be the coil packs. Anyone else have problems like this. Sure could use the advice. Thanks |
