I have a 48 hp rude E5RHLCIC that has had a rough life at a marina pushing a work barge. I will start when choked and idle well with fast idle bar completly up. When you lower it it idles ok until you put it in gear and dies. Some times it will run if I give it full throtle and then cuts out and on with a 3 second run and 3 seconds off. <br /><br />I am going to try to find the ignition wire that grounds the power pac and see if that helps to disconnect it. Does any one know what color the wire is. I also wanted to run a stator cranking out put voltage test. Looks like 4 wires coming out of the stator 2 yellow, could be the ac output for charging and the other to power the power pac?<br /><br />Any help from the experts would be great and thanks in advance.<br /><br />Pat, Austin Tx

Symptom sounds like either a restricted carburetor/s issue or the carb linkage is in need of a Link/Synch procedure or both.You'll need a manual for both.
