I'm still having a fuel issue with a Force 35 and it's baffling me.
When it's cold, it runs really well after it starts up.
About an hour after running, it seems to be fuel starve. Initially I thought it might be because the engine wasn't getting enough cooling and fuel was evaporating in the carb. So today I ran it with the cover off. Sure enough, after an hour, it started idling rough and stalling.
I felt the carb and the motor with my bare hands. It was cool so I'm ruling out fuel evaporating in the carb. However, I do notice that there isn't much fuel being delivered. Meaning, there's usually some fuel at the butterfly value if I rev the motor a little bit on neutral, but that was not the case after running an hour.
So it appears to be a fuel starvation issue, but what is causing it? And why does it happening after about an hour of running?
Any opinions and/or suggestions would be much appreciated.
