My 115 e-tec has been getting harder and harder to get started lately. It will fire right away and run for 4-5 seconds and then die. Once it starts and I run it for a while, I can turn it off and starts fine, just when it sits for a while it gets stubborn.

Put it in the water this morning and I could not get it started for the life of me, I was so frustrated I loaded back up and came home. At home I hooked up the hose to see what it would do. It fired right up and ran pefect, what the heck? Back to the lake I go, same thing ,start, die, start, die......Finally get it going and it runs beuatiful, just won't start good.

I called my dealer and he didn't know what it could be, maybe water in the gas he said. If there was water in the gas wouldn't it run bad the whole time not just starting?

Do I have to take it to the dealer I baught from to get it checked out, or can I take it to any E-tec dealer?
