"Here is my problem.I have a V
"Here is my problem.I have a Volvo penta 6cyl engine#431b/ps.Engine temp is running at 150 and she is full of fresh oil.I can start and run it for 45 min at various speeds and it runs fine.It is when I stop for a few and then try to take off she dies.Its like she is fuel starved after the inital prime.The temp is still at 150.It will start again very easy and go 30 yards and die.I thought I had h20 in the fuel sep filter so I took it off and draind it and no h20.I checked the filter in the carb and it was clear.I let it cool down for a few hours then it would start right back up and run fine at 150 temp.I was told this boat has a oil pressure safty switch that shuts down the motor? It has a electric fuel pump located on the left side of the emgine,do you think it bad? I am at a loss and need some direction.Thanks,Jeff"
