Idaho outboard mechanic needed

[wrj9892]

We've got a 1979 Evinrude 150, which we've had problems with going to WOT. Seems to want to stall whenever we let it set for 5-10 minutes at idle or off. Most of the time we can only get up to about 1500 RPM's before it stalls. After fighting with it last year, I'm ready to take it to a good outboard repair shop. Doesn't anyone have a mechanic in Boise, ID they'd recommend.<br /><br />Thanks in advance.

wrj...I don't know if there is a competent OMC outboard machanic in Boise but you might try Coles Marine...check the phone book. I've always done my own work and get advice here.<br />I'll check around and if you talk to Coles Marine and decide not to use them check back, maybe I will have some better info by then...just a Thought

Thanks for the replies. Last year we tried carburetor rebuilds, replacing fuel lines, replacing primer bulb, and replacing spark plugs with no improvement. We're tired of trying to find the problem and are ready to have a professional take a look.
