Third season on my Suzuki 250, been winterized and stored every season, this last winter with a different company. Two boating sessions ago (about two weeks earlier), my daughter told me the engine stalled while underway. But it started right up and they kept on going. Same thing happened twice yesterday, and I chalked it up to bad gas. Added about 30 gallons of new gas yesterday hoping that would do the trick. Today it happened several times, maybe seven. It seemed to occur more rapidly when under more throttle. We decided to head back to our slip, and my wife and I both commented the engine seemed to be struggling.
I don't have a bit of engine/fuel line knowledge. The boat and motor are under warranty. The original marina has been sold to another group. The closest Bennington dealer (Mercury reps and 60 miles away) laughed when I told them I had a Suzuki - "Good luck finding someone to work on it." Very professional. The closest Suzuki dealer is 80 miles away.
Do I have a service issue, or is there some cool Lucas Oil-like product that will save the day? Thanks in advance.
