I just bought a 1973 9.5HP Seahorse. The first time I used it I only had the fuel from the previous owner and it was way too old! Today, I recycled the old fuel and got some fresh mix and the motor ran great for a while. The second time I was running for a few minutes on plane when I heard a bang, felt a jerk, and the engine died. I thought I had run over something, but when I checked there was nothing there so I restarted the motor. I could get it to idle, but when I put it in gear it would immediately stall out. Any suggestions of what I'm facing will be greatly appreciated.
