Was out of the water this past weekend and all was good. Was running wide open for about 10-15 minutes and running very low on gas.<br /><br />So, I pulled into the marina and put 12 gallons in (the tank was nearly empty). It fired right up... I proceeded through the wake area about 2-3 minutes then opened it back up... Within about 1-2 minutes the engine sputtered very quickly and then began to die. After trying to start it so many times I could only get it to run for maybe 3-5 seconds then it would die. Even when it did run for this long it was a very faint idle. I proceeded to burn out my starter in which I had to have rebuilt. <br /><br />Meanwhile the boat has been sitting. I just got my new starter and I am back to ground zero. I could barely even get it to fire on the trailer. A couple of times it acted like it was going to run but didn't.<br /><br />All indications point to the marina gas, but that is a reputable marina and I spoke with the tennant later that day and he said he had no reports of anyone having trouble after fill up. <br /><br />So, what would you guys recommend? Drain the gas and put more in from another station? Could it really have been poor gas, and because my tank was so empty I experience trouble whereas others probably had gas in their tanks which prevented them having problems?<br /><br />I am afraid I am going to burn this starter out trying to get it started..<br /><br />Please help!
