Just been out today and was going fine for about 40 mins then noticed rpm was erratic then dropped suddenly from 3500 to 2000 then stalled, started up and found it wouldnt pick up properly, sometimes popping from the engine (carb ithink) trying to get back and the revs kept dying and stalling, then I found that if i didnt restart for a minute or two i.e leave it off it would be ok for 4-6 minutes, eventually managed to get back to the berth ok. The temparture guage was fine at around 175f, and oil pressure was good. I had a look and could see nothing untoward going on.
Now the real kick in the teeth is that I just bought the boat last week and was as certain as any one could be about an engine, even though I am not a mech I have a fairly good idea what goes on under the hood but obviously not as good an idea as I thought.....any help would be greatly appreciated. :'(
