Hello, I am new to this forum and my question is, why does my 6HP outboard motor stall after running it for 2 minutes? I changed crankcase oil, so that should be full (although I did see water coming out of the lower unit when I was replacing the old with the new). Gas mixture is fine, 50-1. I am able to start again after it stalls, but I need to pull out the choke a little. I see gas in the gas filter so fuel is getting to the filter, but I cannot say for sure if it getting to the motor.
Can someone suggest to me what to try next? We had problem with slow/fast idle last year, which we had fixed.
Thanks a bunch
IanCraig
