Need some help with where I should look.,.. Have an odd stalling problem with both engines. When in neutral and at idle, both (not necessarily at the same time and usually one or the other) engines stall from time to time. They simply just stop running with no reason. They will start back up. The boat runs fine otherwise. No codes being sent to smartcraft. Obviously this usually happens at the worst time (docking) as I put the boat in and out of gear.
here is an interesting piece of information, if I bypass the solenoid [completely unplug at the solenoid ("parkers" that shut off the fuel from the tank prior to the pump) and the fuel pump and also put into "bypass" position] the boat never stalls. This means the throttle is plugged into the fuel pump and not through the solenoid(s) then to the fuel pump (I think).
i just replaced both solenoids thinking maybe that was the problem but no luck. Any ideas? Could this be the cables maybe? Seems odd it would be both engines?
