Hi,

I have a Tohatsu 6hp Sail Pro Long Shaft.

It starts right up, idles fine but dies after a few seconds once I put it in gear and get underway.

It was running great all last season, and then died on me while underway and hasn't worked properly since.

I cleaned the carburetor and put it in an ultrasonic machine so I don't believe that's an issue.

How would I go about troubleshooting this to determine the problems.

Thanks,
Alan

I have one of those outboards and it has done the exact same thing a few times. Each time changing the fuel filter fixed the problem.
