Engine starts and runs well, when first unloading boat at lake. Will run wide open for maybe 15 minutes to fishing hole. When ready to restart and go to another area of fishing, motor starts and runs well wide open for about 5 minutes, then it just shuts down. It will restart, but will only run at idle speed.
This has happened everytime the last few outings. I have the service manual, and have eliminated fuel problems, and it is not overheating ( engine did overheat one time about 15 years ago). Friend had same problem with large hp motor and it was stator problem. The service manual has several tests for coils, stator, rectifier, etc. Could the problem be anyone of these electrical items, or could it be more specific to one?
