hi
i'm new to this boating game, i've just bought my first boat and restored it, i bought a second hand yamaha 30hp 3 cylinder, i've had the impellor changed and the gearbox oil, my problem is this;
its a manual start and starts easily and runs fine but when i drop the revs it stalls if its in gear or pops and stops when i knock it out of gear, now this doesnt happen all the time, but it does it always when i'm coming into my mooring, i 'm able to do most things on an engine but i've never messed with a 2 stroke outboard.
i've not done anything at the moment apart from clean the filter, is it worth putting in new spark plugs or do you think this is a fuel problem.
the guy i bought it from used it regulary but did'nt do much maintenance to it.
any help would be appreciated
