Check your fuel feed line, I have had the inner liner collapse and starve the 
engine of fuel then once the engine shuts down and the suction released start 
and run fine for a bit. This was on a Atomic 4 boat. Had a similar thing on our 
dinghy last season.

Subject: Stus-List Another Fuel Mystery

Inspired by Tom’s post.

I have an A4.  On Friday afternoon I filled the fuel tank.  I motor so little 
on my lake - generally just in and out of the marina - that I can go a whole 
season one one tank.  Case in point, she took 12 gallons Friday in a 20-gallon 
tank, and was in the water five months used multiple times weekly.  I added 
lead substitute and stabilizer as usual.

When hauling out Saturday morning, I had to keep station near the launch ramp 
for an hour waiting my turn.  In the middle of that, my A4 just quit.  It’s 
never done that before, except a few times two years ago when I had a frozen 
petcock restricting fuel flow.

After a bit of cranking and choking she fired back up again, and ran smoothly 
for the rest of the station-keeping, haul-out, and winterizing on the hard.  I 
wrote it off to a temporary fuel flow issue, but I have no idea why it might 
have happened.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
