Our outboard engine is having idling problems and the dealership has not been sucessful in resolving the issue. The engine starts great and idles normally. Aftering running for about 15 minutes the engine will not drop back into idle. It either drops to 1500 rpm or 2000 rpm and decends to 1500 rpm. After running at 1500 rpm, the engine begins to stall and die. The engine restarts fine, but many times it will ramp up to 2500 to 3000 rpms and hold. I have to cut the engine off and it will generally reset to 1500 rpms (still too high) with the same stalling issues. After resting for several hours or overnight (consistently), the engine will idle normal again.
I checked the fuel filter. It is brown/orange? Is this normal?
Otherwise, the engine runs great. Any suggestions before returning to the dealer. The engine has been properly winterized by the dealer since we bought the engine new.
