The boat has been in storage for the past 2 years. When I tried to prep it for this season a few weeks ago, it wouldn't start. Took it to the shop and the technician cleaned the carburetor and fixed the primer. Everything appears to be in great working order.
I had since taken it to the lake twice now and have the following problems. My motor started fine, but doesn't want to idle sometimes and the motor tends to cut out after a few minutes when the throttle is at 60% or more. It would run great, but would suddenly and quietly cut out (sounds like it just ran out of gas). After it died in this manner, it would take a few tries to start back up. When I maintained a slower throttle speed, it was fine. Prior to this, I actually had never had any problems with this boat!
Any advice is very much appreciated!
