While cruising about 4000 RPM's the engine runs good but every once in a while it sputters but takes off again. Sometime you think it is going to die but it does'nt. Ran all the gas out twice of the boat tank and always add Styabil marine. New bulb,hose and new water seperator filter changed twice. Whats going on?

are you sure it is a fuel related problem? Check your coils/coil wires for wear and tear. if it is a fuel thing try pumping the ball when you are at W.O.T if the ball doesnt fill back up with fuel you could have a blockage in your fuel pickup in your tank. Check your water/Fuel seperator for sediment from your tank. could need a Carb. Cleaning
