Hello All,
Here is what has been done so far:

Carbs were rebuilt summer before last by a boat repair facility.
I purchased the boat late last year and had trouble with it idling in gear and neutral. It just refused to and would just die otherwise ran great once throttle was advanced.

Took it to the shop in late March of this year and the mechanic advised the VRO pump was bad and $700.00 dollars later I got it back with the mechanic saying it runs great now at idle.

Well took it out yesterday and it will idle good in gear and neutral for about 30 seconds to a minute then dies. I'm a little hesitant to take it back to the shop. Any suggestions what I should look for? Thanks all....

i would be also, he could have told you to convert to premix for $50.00 pump. you probably have a contaminated carb, especially if you did not stablize the existing fuel.
