Was wondering if anyone had any ideas about the stalling issue with my 1996 Evinrude 150? When throttles all the way out the engine makes 5500 rmp and runs smooth, but when at idle it dies within several minutes. The prime ball on the fuel line loses pressure as well. Not really sure where to start. I know to check the plugs, put maybe some seafoam through the fuel for the carbs and check my fuel lines for possible leaks. To be honest with you I'm feeling it may be the fuel pump or prime valve. Any help will be appreciated more than you could possibly know. :confused:
