Went fishing today, launched fine and ran to spot without problems just like always. Got ready to go in ahead of rain, cranked up fine and planed off, ran 1/4 mile RMP's dropped motor stopped like it ran out of fuel. I had fuel, even treated with staybil for ethanol, motor would start, rough idle and stop. Once it was finally idling, put in neutral, gave it throttle and it died. Thank goodness fortwo strong trolling motor batteries, had to troll last mile to the ramp.
Questions: The fuel bulb is spongy and has never gotten firm when pumped up. Can this be the issue?
Water/fuel separator filter has 15 hours on it, possibly need replacing due to ethanol in gas these days?
Fouled plugs?
Any positive suggestions appreciated.
