Had some engine trouble over the weekend. The outboard would stall and die on me repeatedly. It appears to be a fuel issue. The fuel line was coming apart. Some type of clear lining inside the fuel line was de-laminating from the inside wall of the hose. The previous owner did not use marine gas, and I think the ethanol has disintegrated the hose. Towards the end, my motor was backfiring pretty often at idle. It sounded just like a short sneeze! Do you folks think this is related? Thanks!
