My 2001 15HP 4 stroke was running fine at 90% throttle and then it just stopped running. When it first quit, I pulled the starter rope and the engine would try to start and sputter and quit. Got a tow and after 10 min while being towed it started right up and ran fine at 30% throttle until it quit after 3/4 mile. Then it started up immediately and got me home. Sounds like water in the gas to me but my clear in line filter shows no water or contaminants. Any ideas? Crap in the bowl?
