Okay, I have read enough to know there are alot of issues with the Sport jet 90 and here are mine. First, is it okay to start the engine with the boat out of the water? The previous owner would start it while running water through the engine flush kit (located to the right of the engine facing foward) connected to a garden hose, however some of what I have read indicates that I should not do that. Second, when I do start the engine out of the water (with the garden hose attached) I pull the throttle only button out and turn the engine over using the choke. The engine will start on the first or second try, run for 30-60 seconds and then stall. Once it stalls I cannot start it again. The next day I can repeat the whole deal again (starts easily, runs for a minute or so, stalls, won't restart). Are these 2 questions possibly related? Can I expect the engine to stall this way if the boat is in the water? I'm new at this so any advice is welcome. My boat is a 1994 Regal Rush.
