Greetings,
Last fall we fished for three days in E.WA.
The first two days the engine ran like a champ.
The third day we trailed the boat to a different lake over a bumpy dirt road.
The engine would start but not continue to run at low speed. If I could get it into gear and accelerate it ran fine until I backed to near idle where it would quit.
When we got home I played with it some (checked plugs, fuel filter) and noticed that when I squeezed the primer bulb to initially start it the bulb would not stay firm (before it was running).
Runnning it in the yard - at a fast idle it runs then coughs then runs then coughs etc.until it quits.
Your ideas are appreciated.
