[QUOTE="Bowhunter1661, post: 408904, member: 9937"] I think I may have found my problem... And I feel like an idiot. I bought this boat and motor from my ill grandfather. Because of his current state he couldn't tell me how to run the motor. Well, I FINALLY found some info online for an operators manual. When starting the motor I would prime the engine, but, I would not adjust the idle speed knob (ignorance). In fact it was always set to full CCW, which is the slowest setting. So I believe that my issue is my idle was just too low and it would die. Not it totally sure until I get the motor back together Friday when my parts come in. But it sure seems likely. Here's part of the instructions. Let me know what you think. [/QUOTE]
