Less than 10 hours total on engine.
3 Trips to lake, 2 break downs.
Both times after about 3 hours and a 1/2 tank of fuel.
Temp is around 160.
RPM's will drop, then the engine chokes out.
Sounds fuel or air starved.
Will restart but will not run or idle.
Engine will choke out again.
I know tank was full when I started, so it has not run out of fuel.
1st time back to shop they put in a new fuel pump.
After 2nd breakdown, I left it tied up at dock overnight. THe next am it started. So I put 14 gallons in at marina and it ran fine for around 2 hours. Trailered it back home and left for dealer to check out.
Could it be some trash in tank/line that causes problems around 1/2 tank? Could it be some kind of presure problem? I will take any ideas.
