[Alberg30] Engine Problems

[FINKENBERG, Lincoln]

Thanks for the input, much stuff I would never had thought to check.

I have no thermostat -- so the gray marine runs cold -- is this a likely
culprit to the engine problem described?

Is it a bad idea otherwise to run it cold?

==============================================================
        I motored for about 20 minutes and the engine (gray marine sea
scout) started to stall out, but when I adjusted the throttle down from 1500
rpm to 1200 it ran fine.  10 minutes later same problem at 1200 rpms, now
I'm down to 1,000 rpm then to 800 etc., and back at the mooring.  This same
problem occurred while it was not under load.  Back at the mooring I topped
off the fuel tank (it was about 60% full) restarted, same problem.

        Next morning I start it up -- run it for 20-30 minutes it works fine
under load and in idle.
