Hello, We just purchased a 2008 Yamaha 4-stroke 40hp outboard. We broke it in according to the Mfg directions (only up to 1/2 speed for a few hours and then occaissonally to full speed for the next 10 hours). In the past 2 weeks we have had the ob stall several times and when it stalls it will not start for several hours. Yesterday it would not run at all. But today it ran fine (all day).
The ob is located quite remote at present and so cannot be taken in to a tech. The fuel we are using is 87 octane. We checked the oil and it was fine (a little dark but fine!). Any troubleshooting suggestions would be appreciated.
Cheers,
Mister Bill
