[QUOTE="super_dork, post: 396637, member: 6531"] So I took the family out tonight. It didn't go so well. We got the motor running right away. I trimmed it down as far as it could go, which really helped with planning out, though the boat seamed to be leaning to the left while in motion, so I'm not sure what that's all about. Anyway, we ran at about half throttle, maybe 20mph or less for just a few hundred yards when the motor just quit. I was able to get it started again then it stopped again. Needless to say, after trying for a while to get it running, we just used the trolling motor to get back to the dock. At the dock, after it sat a while, I was able to get it running in neutral while working the throttle up and down. If I stopped working it, the engine would just cut out again and was hard to get started again. I'm guessing my next step will be checking the plugs and cleaning the carbs. Also, I checked and the water is coming out if the pee hole, so I think the water pump is just fine. So, seafoam or pull the carbs? [/QUOTE]
