<TITLE>Engine problem</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<P> <FONT SIZE=2>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.</FONT></P>
<P> <FONT SIZE=2>Next morning I start it up -- run it for 20-30 minutes it works fine under load and in idle.</FONT>
<BR> <FONT SIZE=2>Input appreciated.</FONT>
