hey guys, out fishing the other day… motor ran great for most of the day. Made a move and as I was coming off of pad, the motor stalled and died on me. It would crank but not start and idle. I finally got it to start by giving it some throttle. It took me several tries to throttle enough to run, but get it down low enough to get it in gear without dying. Once in gear, it took off like nothing was wrong and I went straight to the ramp. Once again it died when I throttled down to come off of pad. Once again it would not start and idle. Loaded up with the trolling motor and headed to the house. Where do I need to start to diagnose? Thanks in advance.
