I have a 1966, Mercury 650, 65hp, 4 cylinder. When I first put the boat in the water it cranks great. It's idled a bit to low but when you give it the gas it runs great. After just a minute or so it's like it just quits running for a millisecond and then starts running fine again. Then it may lose power for a few seconds and then it restores itself and runs great. I can then turn the motor off and do a little fishin' (which is why I bought the boat) and when I go to crank the boat again it will not even try to fire. I can let it sit for 10 or 15 minutes and then it will crank again (except last Saurday when I had to troll all the way back to the dock). Does anyone have any ideas what may be causing this? I love the boat and motor would just like to get it fixed. I ordered a manual for it, but I am figuring the troubleshooting section is not going to cover this.<br /><br />Thanks Kelly
