1989 OMC Cobra 5.7<br /><br />My port side engine will ocassionally sputter out and shut off, only at idle speed. I runs fine at any/all RPM above idle, but when I'm navigating back through the marina, is will "sometimes" just sputter out. I have NO excelleration problem or any trouble while underway.<br /><br />I'm thinking either a fuel pump or choke problem, but don't really know how to verify. (or if theres anohter possibility). Fuel is no more than 1 month old. I did change the filter at the carb, but have not change the water seperator yet (thats next). I DID just install a new ESA module on that engine, and thats when it seemed to start happening. I did disconnect it to troubleshoot, but got the same results, so thats not the problem. I checked the timing and it's correct for marine fuel.. although I'm still running land gas through the right now (because I fill her up on land before I launch each spring)<br /><br />I have not done points/roter/cap plugs/wires yet either.<br /><br />Suggestions?
