I have a 1997 Evinrude 225 OceanPro. It has developed a problem this Spring of cutting out at idle. When starting up, idles fine until the motor reaches proper temperature and rpm's drop. At that point the motor "sneezes" and cuts off. Cranks right back up but continues this process. Now I've noticed that the motor will shut off from time to time when putting the motor in neutral from either forward or reverse. Cranks right back up. Yesterday I was fishing for a couple of hours and cranked up and went to leave and the motor would die when I would give it gas. Eventually it took off and ran fine except it wouldn't go over about 4300 rpms.<br /><br />Any ideas of where I should start looking?<br /><br />The Big O
