--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Boat starts and Idles fine... Can run at speed in neutral..When put under load.. idles down and stalls..
Background--- 2 years ago filled tank.. used about half tank last year and refilled .. ALways put in ring free and Startron.. Ran fine last year .. THis is first time in water this year.. Feels like fuel starved.. Will always restart in idle.. Could be the fuel has jelled or separated there is some component of 2 year old fuel.. During hot spell last week some fuel came out of the fill cap.. Could be blocked air intake I guess as well..
Do I need to pump out and replace all that fuel ??
Grady 228 so that is a lot of fuel.. Don't want to spend all summer figuring this out Suggestions welcome
