Motor had been running fine for many excursions. I started off as usual for 1 person launch, i let the motor idle while I parked the trailer. Took out of the marina in idle for several hundred yards and gave it gas. Motor immediately shut off and wouldnt re-start, I cleaned the carbs on the water and all the fuel system. I got a tow back to the landing, loaded the boat and moved the tilt up. Tilt wouldnt lower the motor when i got back home. You could hear the relays clicking. Swapped the relays and the tilt worked. I cleaned the carbs and fuel system, new spark plugs. I looked the motor over pretty good and used engine cleaner, I also fixed a couple of bad looking wires...She cranked up perfectly and I ran it for several times for long periods of time ( Im going offshore), tilt worked perfectly many times....last week I went back out and everything was in running order. I unloaded the boat left it in idle while i parked the trailer, came back, idled out of the marina and situated myself for a long test ride. Immediately when I gave it the throttle it shut off. I moved the tilt up for the tow back in. The tilt doesnt work and there is no spark.
