Location: Lebanon,Mo | Since i have been building a new house the last seven months,i havent been able to get on the water as much.Now my boat has been sitting in storage for five months with no Sta-Bil in it,and on top of that i accidently put 87nle in it and im thinking there is water and gumming in the carbs.I pulled it out of storage,put the ear muffs on and run like crap.Would not idle,would cut out at higher rpm's.It would start if you pumped the throttle,but not for long.This is the first time this has happened to me.Im dealing with a '08 yam 40hp 4-stroke with only 12hrs.It went to the shop today.So did i goof with the lack of stabilizer and the accidental 87 octane w/ethanol???.......Fred.
P.S. I even changed the plugs yesterday and would idle fine for about 10 seconds and then was back to cutting out.I also forgot to mention i sprayed some fogger in the plug holes and the air box in October thinking this would help while it sit.
