Four-stroke engine is 3 or 4 years old. After trolling with it for an hour or so, the engine starts to bog down, then eventually dies. This happens sooner if I'm running the engine harder. I can get the engine started again, but it only wants to idle, and if I run it again at trolling speed it will bog down and die again. When it cools, it runs fine at trolling speed again.
The engine oil is at the normal level. There is water coming out the **** tube fine. I bought the engine new, and everything under the cover looks fine and not corroded.
The fuel has been winterized, and I'm on a new tank anyways. Gas **** is open when running, no kinks in the fuel line...
Installing a new thermostat is the only thing I can think of, but I'm really not sure... Any ideas of what might be wrong?
Thanks!!
