I have a 40 hp Mariner (built by yamaha). It only will run when fully choked. At full throttle it will fun fine for a second or two then just shut off. Its has new gas at a mixture of 50 : 1. The fuel filter is not clogged. I am getting spark on both plugs. Does anyone have any tips on what could be wrong? Any idea what the plug gap should be?

Possibly the fuel pump is going. The diaphram may be weak or have a hole in it. Sounds more than likely like a fuel starvation thing going on. Check all fuel lines for cracks or leaks
