[QUOTE="Boat2fast, post: 361873, member: 13358"] That sounds to me like the idle fuel adjustment. As the engine warms up it needs less fuel to run right. Check spark right after it dies(pull the plug wire and stick a plug in it). If you have spark, try to start it right away. If it won't start and it [i]has[/i] spark; you can quit looking at the ignition system. If it smells 'gassy' it might be running too rich at idle. That will make it stall and hard to re-start. If the problem is not the ignition, and it will not adjust out, sometimes the idle fuel passage has crud in it. Follow the service manual instructions for removing the metal 'core' plug from the top of the carb. This is not often the problem but sometimes it is. The factory always includes a new core plug in the kit. [/QUOTE]
