First I would like to thank everyone for the great forum. I have gotten through several issues due to the response of other boaters issues and from the responses given by people who have been there!
The issue I have is while underway at about mid-throttle the engine will simply idle down after a period of time, could be a minute, could be five minutes. I originally had a cracked plug so I replaced all of them and now the engine sounds fine and runs strong but out of nowhere it will simply idle itself down. It also seems to want to crank a lot when starting cold. The bulb losses pressure as well but I do not see anywhere that I am losing fuel. Once running it doesn't seem to be fuel starved so I am wondering if I have a fuel pump issue.
Anyone have any opinions as to where I should start?
Thanks in advance.
