i have a sea ray seaville that stalls once warm

ill launch it and start it up and drive at idle speed with no problems, sounds great. then ill get out of the marina. and cruse around for a while at various speeds with no problems. finally get back and go back to idle, will idle for a bit then stalls and cant restart it. ill play with the air fuel mixture for a few minuts and final get it "running", back to the launch. i did a few test that i read on another forum like putting the throttle at 75% which will make it start and run but when i bring it back to idle stalls again. it will also last longer when the outdrive is all the way down (i put it up a little to minimise possible colissions) how should i procede with this problem??

What motor you working on?
Sounds like its a fuel problem, mainly getting to much of it. If its flooding, you put the throttle at near WOT and crank the motor until it fires then quickly bring it back.

When it won't start remove the flame arrestor and look down the card and see if you see fuel dripping. If you do then most likely need the carb rebuilt or replaced. Could also be fuel pressure. Need more info on your motor

In case anyone has this same problem. I found out my auto choke wasn't working properly!
