Default Re: Who's running a 200hp outboard?

The last time out, I was running nicely all day. Then halfway through making a little two mile run, there was a gradual decline in rpm's before dying. Tried for a maybe 45 mins. to get it going, and while on the phone w/ TowBoat, it magically fired up.

you've got a fuel delivery problem . . .

was the primer bulb flat when you stalled out?

check, clean and/or replace:

any Fuel Filters, check valves (on the fuel tank), Fuel water Seperators, primer bulbs . . . and/or try running the motor on a seperate 6 gallon fuel tank with a new bulb and hose.
Ches - I'd hate to see you buy a new motor and have the same problem :)
