    Strange problem

    Mod# E250DPLSO Ser# 05113412

    Was out today and went to move to another spot stepped on gas boat started to plane then it was like the kill switch was pulled. Restart motor sounds good rev up to about 3000 rpms a few times seems ok put in gear step on gas and again was like kill swith pulled, no alarms or lites. did this at least 15 times. Did not seem to happen at the same rpm each time was random once I almost got on plane. I thought well I could Just idle back to the ramp but no luck there either would die at 1000 rpms. Seemed like it would run as long as I wanted as long as it was not in gear, forward or reverse caused the same problem. I shut down the ignition and fished for about an hour decided to try again. Started as always hit the gas and away we go, very odd. Did not act up again the rest of the day. I did note while this was happening all gauges and controls worked normal.

    Any ideas would be great. Motor was service about 10 hours ago and new plugs were installed at that time.

    You need to pull the code. Should be a hard code if you went through that.

    Sounds to me like it wasn't getting fuel.
