Hi all, Was expecting a nice day out on Loch Lomond today but it went bad, started engine and allowed to warm up for a few mins ,went out no wake zone and opened up the trottle, ran fine for about 2 miles then just shut down like ign had been switched off, when I went to turn it over to start it it was like the battery was dead (fully charged) left it a minute and started up cranked very slowly ,headed back to the ramp as it was starting to rain like a monsoon ,I know you can not help with the Scottish weather but maybe my engine problem. Thanks in advance. Jim B Ps I think I have a sticking float as when I primed engine I noticed gas shooting out of hole for idle mixture hole ,tapped bowl and ball went hard Thanks again

Not a forum or website problem, moving to the "Other Outboard" forum since there is no mention as to what kind of motor you have. But at 85, It's not an IO.
