Went out a couple days ago and had a problem with my yamaha 115 (carb). Would not go over idle speed. Full tank of gas (oil mixed). Was an obvious electrical problem evidenced by "gas gauge" intermittently working/not working. Returned to the landing using the trolling motor and at times the engine would start and would run at idle speed. New battery full charge. Other electrical devices worked, bilge pump, lights.

My crystal ball is in the shop, so you will have to start testing things to see what you can find
Compression, spark, timing and fuel system to start out with.
Does the alarm system work?

Think I might have found the problem. Will know tomorrow. Think there is a broken connection in the wire and fuse holder in the engine compartment.
