I have a 2006 185 sport that has recently been serviced 100 hour. It starts right up when it is cold and operates normal even going fast over (30MPH). When I slow down sometimes it runs a little rough and then will run better going through no wake zones. However if the engine stalls or I turn it off it is almost impossible to start. It cranks over but won't fire. This can be dangerous in FL with kids and fast approaching lightning storms. Anybody have any ideas. :smt013
 
I had issues with mine stalling when in pulled it to idle after I messed with the idle and mixture set screws. Had to bust out the manual and retune the carb to fix it. They might have not tuned it right at your last service. Could be the automatic chock as well. Pull the arrestor off and see if its full open when the motor is warmed up.
