I am trying to help my father-in-law with his outboard. It seems his boat hasn't been in the water for over a year and when we tried getting it wet it started fine and then after running for 30 min or so it stalled and we had to paddle back to shore. we checked the plugs and they looked ok. Any suggestions?<br /><br />Thanks! :confused:

I think your problem is most likely related to old fuel... strip and clean your carbs and the fuel tank and give it a good clean tank of gas..<br /><br />never leave old fuel in an outboard for a long period.. your asking for just the problem you seem to be having...<br /><br />rgds<br /><br />Frank
