Hello. I just traded my 16' Lund for my first I/O in a 22' Starcrafty Islander. I test drove the boat for about 15 minutes before buying, it started right up cold and ran perfectly, ran it again for another 1/2 hour when I got it home with no problems. It then sat for a few weeks while I got it all cleaned up and set up the way I needed it. Yesterday took it out for a cruise and it again ran absolutely perfect for about 2 1/2 straight hours. About a mile out from the marina on the way back in I was cruising about 3k rpms and it completely cut out for about 3 seconds and then continued to run fine. A minute later it cut out again for a little longer but seemed to keep running fine when the throttle was backed down to about 1500rpms. After idling for a minute, I could take back off and get on plane but after a few seconds it would bog down again but run fine at idle. The boat has fresh gas now but wasn't ran much before I bought it and still had last years fuel in it when I brought it home. One more probably unrelated tidbit, I have to wiggle the throttle lever back and forth a bit when trying to start it to get the sarter to engage.
