Please help!
I have a 1987 bayliner capri and it wont stay running.
It will run for a few minutes and then die.
Let it sit fir 15 -30 min. and it will start right back up and run great for ten min.
Please someone help.

Re: engine problems

The engine is a 2.3 l omc (ford).
I have changed the plugs, wires, points, condenser and the assist solenoid.I changed the coil with one that I knew worked.
I also have a hard time going in gear, forward and reverse.
It seems to work fine on land but under a load its not so sweet.
Please help
Its hot and I want to play
