My Tohatsu 3.5 2 stroke outboard has developed a problem this weekend. It will start first pull and will then run for a few minutes and then dies. after perhaps 5 or 6 pulls it will start again and runs for a further few minutes and dies again. This will repeat a number of times and then will run ok untill I get to where I am going. When I then use it again it will exhibit the same problems. Tonight I have checked the spark plug which is in good condition and the correct gap. I have checked the small fuel filter in the tank which appears to be clean and clear.
Can anyone suggest what else to check before I use it again.
The engine is only about 4 years old and was serviced about 18 months ago.
