This weekend I took my boat out fishing and it ran perfectly for most of the day. On one of my last stops, my motor cut off as I slowed down to idle. Thinking I ran out of gas, I changed tanks. I then started the motor and moved a few yards at low speed and it cut off again. I fished for a few minutes, but decided to head in because I did not feel comfortable with what the motor was doing. I started the motor and it worked at high speeds back to the harbor. When I got to the no wake area, I slowed her down and it cut off again. I could not get the motor to start up again, and drifted towards the land. My battery eventualy died as I tried repeadedly to start her up. The motor would start for about ten seconds at a time but would stall. Can anyone tell me what might be wrong? Thanks in advance.

Sounds like fuel idle circut problems....Maybe some trash or grit has got into the idle jets.<br />Might be time for a carb cleaning...... :)
