Wife's yamaha 1200 suv (1999) shuts down and needs to be restarted. This started yesterday and was very unexpected. She had to walk it back to the dock in 3-4 ft deep water because the battery was low and it would not crank over. After charging battery overnight, it fired right up and ran about a mile before it quit. This time it had enough battery to restart at least six times on the way back. Fuel is at 3/4 full and the oil is half full. Spark plugs are old but worked fine up until yesterday.
This is a two cycle engine with three cylinders and three carbs. I believe it is rated at 135 hp.
Any thoughts on how to find the problem ?? Bad gas ?? Carb dirty ??
Help !
