Here's my problem. My year old Nissan 5 hp 4 stroke is having problems
running on idle. It keeps dying. At full throttle it seems to work
fine. I had it serviced just a couple of months ago and it has been
working fine.
The dilemma gets worse. I was planning on taking the True Love to
Savannah for 5 days later this week, and I would like to get it fixed
but my fix it guy can't get to it by Wed. I am not much of a
mechanic, but does anyone have any potential easy fixes I could try.
It'll kill me if I can't bring my boat to the coast on this trip. I
feel a little nervous about taking it out with a tempermental motor. I
have to make a twisty turny 4 mile trip on the ICW from ramp to marina
that would be a nightmare without a motor.
Any tips? Could it be bad gas? I topped off my tank Saturday afternoon
prior to experiencing the problems Sunday am. Thanks in advance.
