Ok, listen up can anyone offer some information or assistance with this motor. Started about two months ago, engine was running fine and smooth then would intermittently upon acceleration engine shut off and stalled. Then will turn over and not restart. Took to mechanic(one I trust), have already cleaned high pressure fuel pump, replaced filters in all injector pumps, replaced all fuel filters, and no contamination observed/witnessed. Water pump and thermostats replaced $$$$ water pressure while running is between 10-20lbs. Engine oil and filter serviced, as well as, lower unit. Upon leaving the mechanics this morning, he stated that he had ran it for an hour at the shop with no issues. We went three miles down the road, ran it around a lake for about ten minutes, full speed and shut it off, and started right back up. Then drove an hour and half home and put in the St Johns, we ran it full WOT for about thirty minutes and decided to try fishing for a bit. Shut it off, used the trolling motor for about fifteen minutes then was going to run to another spot. Took off and got onto a plane and then fail on its face, stalled and shut-off. Thank heavens we had the trolling motor to get us back to boat ramp. Drove twenty minutes home, hooked it up to the hose and it ran fine. Any ideas on what the heck is going on, dont trust this motor anymore. Purchased it brand new and never had any problems, kept up with all the regular scheduled maintenance. Please offer any ideas....dazed and confused
