Ok my I just got the boat and motor a couple of months ago and have been having this problem that it keeps stalling at idle. It happens almost every time i go to load the boat back onto the trailer, i will slowly idle and coast onto the trailer and it dies and starts up hard. It is hard to start the motor unless you activate the throttle only, not engaging the prop, however even once it gets going using the throttle only it will stall when put back into neutral. I ran it in my driveway today with the muffs on it and it seemed to start ok, then would start to run rough and would backfire or misfire then would stall. I have replaced the fuel line from the tank to the motor including the primer bulb, replaced all of the spark plugs, cleaned the bottom carbeurator completely disassembling it spraying carb cleaner in all the jets and blowing them out with an air compressor, as well as cleaning the inside of the jets with a piece of small wire. I put a water seperating fuel filter on the fuel line. I put seafoam in the gas, ive tried so many things and now its backfiring. I have a vacation on friday in which im taking the boat so any help is appreciated very much.
