This is what happen. I was running across the lake around 25mph the engine was run great and then there was like a surge and idle down and surge and engine shut off. I thought I fried the motor. I lifted the motor out of the water and to make sure nothing in the prop. Put it back down and fired up and ran great. Next day no issue. Then on Monday the same thing happened. So this time I did some troubleshooting, first check the bulb and it was hard, cranked the motor and it was turning and not firing. So I pulled out the fuel filter and gas spread out so gas was to that point. I pulled the plugs and all the plugs was dry like if I pulled them out of the truck. So no fuel to the cylinders. I put the filter back in and started pumping up the bulb and it sounded to me like I can hear the fuel fill back up. I put the motor back in the water and cranked on it and it fired. So at this point I didn't go over 7mph and headed back to the ramp. When I heard the surge I would shut off and lift the motor out of the water and then back it and it would be ok. I took it to the mechanic and he cannot get it to do the same thing but he only has a test tank. He is going to take it to the lake to test.
What do you think is wrong? Fuel pump? I did not get an alarm at all when this happened.
Thanks for the help,
