[John Boor]

>> Hi everyone,

>> had the boats Atomic 4 completely rebuilt by Moyer Marine. It has an
>> electric fuel pump, electronic ignition, and all new plugs, wires, etc.
>> My problem is that the engine cuts out after about an hour of running, I
>> dropped the anchor and sat for about 20 minutes after which it started
>> only to run for about ten minutes and cut out again. the
>> problem is fuel or an electrical breakdown.
>> Again, ANY ideas.

> I agree with others that the coil may be bad if the engine just cuts
out,  if it hesitates befor stopping this may indicate a fuel problem. 
Check you fuel tank vent pipe to see that it is not blocked or
restricted, this will cause fuel starvation and after a pause allowing
the tank vacuum to equalize.
