Hi,
I ran my new 4 stroke 9.8 for 3 hours of the beak in period, then pulled the fuel line and let it run out of gas. The motor sat for a month while I was away. I went to run it again and it would only run with the choke all the way out, it kept stalling in gear when I tried to accelerate. I put in some sea foam and it after a while it ran fine again. The gas is premium unleaded with stabil added. The gas tank vent was open all the time. What could cause this?
Also, do you drain the fuel water filter bowl and fuel lines of gas when winterizing or if the motor will sit for a while?
Thanks for your help!
