Help! My first post here for help with my outboard. A couple of weeks ago I was almost stranded out on the lake as the engine would start but would die as soon as I reduce rpms to shift into gear. Made it home ok and took it to a marine dealer who charged $165 to install a new set of plugs (ouch). I did my own test at the lake but was unable to start it. I then bought an in line spark tester and turned it over at home and was surprised that now I had spark and it started. I hit the kill button, hooked up the muffs on the bottom end and restarted it. It would run but not well as the spark would die whenever throttling back then re fire and run if I caught it in time to throttle it back up. I bought and replaced the power module ($97) which initially made no difference. However the next day I gave it another try and now it seems to run perfectly. I reinstalled the original power module and it still runs perfectly. I am considering pulling the flywheel to see if there is anything loose or obvious. Hard to fix when it is not at present broken but I will have no confidence in it until I find what has been happening. Thoughts?
