First post here, but i have followed for years. I am not new to boats but i have a problem that i cannot figure out. I just bought a 98 trophy center console with a 120 force. I took it to the lake today and the motor was running fine for the first 5 minutes in the water. Then once it warmed up it didnt want to run. Everytime i would shift it would shut off. When i was finally able to get it to go at full throttle it ran fine. I have replaced the plugs and cleaned the carbs. Still no change. I am thinking that it could be the fuel enrichment valve, but i am not sure how to check it. The solenoid clicks when i push in the key. Any input would be appreciated. Thanks, Jeremy.

i have been messing with the motor and i do not think that it is the fuel enrichment valve anymore. It is pushing out gas when the key is pushed in, So now i am not sure where to look.
