So I have an issue I can't figure out. I have a 96 evinrude 50hp that i replaced the gas tank, fuel line and bulb, new fuel filter and new fuel pump about 10 months ago and it ran great. Ran great yesterday no problems for about 2 hours.
i added new gas today, got out and went WOT no problem. As soon as I started letting the throttle down to slow down it started sputtering. Would idle just fine, and even light throttle it ran fine. But when I was about half throttle or higher it sputters, never dies though. I turned the key to turn it off and immediately started it back up and it ran fine even through WOT. But the minute I let it down on the throttle it sputtered again. Turned it off and restarted it and it went WOT fine again until i slowed down... and just keeps doing this.
I cant think of what is causing this that restarting fixes. Checked the fuel filter and its clean.
