2010 Yamaha T60 TLR 4 stroke that has worked flawlessly for 4 years and last week after an hour of running died in the lake. Got back to the dock and could get it running by pumping the primer bulb.
Figured it was the low pressure fuel pump and replaced that today and noticed that the fuel filter cartridge was not tight so tightened that as well.
Gas is relatively new and stabilized with Lucas oils marine stabilizer.
No leaks as far as I can tell, fuel pump is working and now I can keep it running but after running wide open for a few mins starts to bog down. If I catch it early and toss it in neutral it will just go back to idle or if I don’t it just dies. Will restart but not sure why it’s bogging down at full throttle.
Thoughts? Empty the tank and new gas?
Any ideas welcomed.
