I got a buddy with a 2003 250xs on a Bullet 21 XDC. This morning he went to the lake and when he started getting on plane the motor just cut out real bad and died. He said the motor started right back up and did the same thing, but then it got harder to start. I took his fuel filter off and emptied it out and unplugged alot of different connections and reconnected to insure good contact on everything and checked the fuses. We took it back to the lake and it did the same thing. The motor ran good about a month ago when it was used last. Probaly that good ethanol in the expensive fuel we buy now. I have never heard of this problem on any of the XS engines before, so any help would be appreciated.

Thanks Michael
