Honda 150hp; 250 hrs; new in 2008 mounted on a Sweetwater pontoon.
Problem: Fours times this weekend, after the motor was running for a while - 20 mins to 90 minutes, motor will sputter and cut off; will not start right away; wait 5-10 minutes and motor starts fine and runs until it does it again.
Motor turns over and runs normal otherwise. Fuel primer bulb not "sucked" in when problem occurs - a mechanic said to check that; new NGK iridium plugs have 50hrs on them; runs fine at any RPM otherwise; we don't run wide open - about 3000 rpms but do run WOT occasionally without problems; all oils changed for season; fuel filters never changed; there is a honda fuel filter mounted on the transom (orange see-thru enclosure); use only nonethanol gas from reputable marina.
Ideas? Thanks in advance.
