I've chased this thing until i've about to run out of answers. I get to the lake today make a run to my first fishing spot. Turn off my motor and fished for awhile. Restarted it it took off no problem. I then made a long run up lake and fished another spot of mine. Again i turned off the motor fished for probably a hour and a half or two. Restarted my motor it was coughing and wouldn't stay running. I adjusted out my air idle screws. I got it running better and no coughing ran back to my earlier spot fished for a half hour or so. Restarted my motor and it took off. I went back to the marina and i was replacing my runners so i left the boat setting for another hour or maybe just a little longer. When i restarted it, it coughed and spit and wouldn't stay running again. I'am starting to notice a pattern with it. The longer i let it set the worse it runs when i restart it. It doesn't load up on oil,it isn't smoking. I thought maybe it was the crappy eythanol fuel. Put some real gas in it, it made no difference. Pulled plugs they look like there firing right. I just can't figure this thing out and its driving me nuts. Any help would be appreciated.
