Took the boat out again yesturday and no problems. Boated for about 45 minutes and then stopped and anchored for about 3 hours in shallow water. ON the way back we threw out the tube and pulled it at idle. After about 2 minutes, the engine loses power and stalls. I got it going again however it wouldnt idle and needed to stay at or greater then 1800-2000rpm. Got it home and started playing with it. IT will idle now(after multiple failed starting attempts), however if it is around 2000rpm or greater and is rapidly/moderately brought back to neutral it will stall. IT will try and get going but doesnt have it in it. I cleaned the carb a little bit and it ran better. However I dont know what my next step should be. IT will run in neutral after warming up but it isnt smooth like before. PLugs are good, gas is good.
