Engine has been acting up recently whereas engine will cut off if running under idle. In order to get the motor started, it has to be taken out of idle and revved to get going. Once running it’s fine but if brought down to slow idle it will eventually cut out. Just recently changed the inline fuel filter under the cowling and installed new racor S3213 filter on the separator. New primer bulb as well. Also did a ringfree carbon treatment and spark plug replacement last week. Any other ideas? Treating the fuel with startron as well. Thanks.
Sounds like my boat recently. Only thing that made it run was a carb job from Chris V and new plugs. Good luck.

Chris,
I just doused the intake with a whole can of Sierra ring free and replaced the plugs. Would that not clean the carbs well enough or do i need to do something more?
you cleaned the throat of the carb, you didnt clean anything where the fuel flows
Chris, would a Seafoam treatment do what he needs done?
