Please help. I've had a stall condition for the past two months. The onset comes on almost every time after 20 to 30 minutes of cruising. Boat will stall and not run when put into gear. I've cleaned fuel tank, installed new tank check valve, new fuel line, new points, plugs, cap, and wires. I've had carb rebuilt, replaced filters and water separator. I've installed new coil and checked wiring. Boat idles and runs strong (25 knots) but if its put into neutral after 20 minutes it stalls and will not idle or go in gear. Will restart after about an hour.
