Hello again,<br /><br />Had my 89 Force 85 HP out this weekend. it ran very strong both days with one minor problem. After driving around for a while I cut it off and it sat for several minutes (did this a few times). Re-started fine, but when I open the throttle she hits about 2000 RPM's and stalls out. After re-starting 3 or 4 times and the same thing happening, it will finally allow me to WOT without issue. Ive replaced the bulb which seemed to correct the issue for a short time. Should I rebuild the fuel pump? Thanks!

yes, its easy and cheap.<br />If that doesn't fix it, its back to the drawing board.<br /><br />fuel (carb or gas pickup) or spark (stator?) issue.

Thanks! I'll start with the fuel pump and see where that takes me.
