I have a 90 4-stroke Yamaha (03) which up until this Spring has ran like a champ. This year when I put her in neutral and idle, it eventually kills. If I keep the tachometer over 10 she stays alive. When I put the throttle down it runs fine. I have it winterized every year, oil changed, stabilize the gas, etc. One of my theories was bad/old gas. I have gone through about 2 new tanks this year so far. I did put in some SeaFoam. It might be a little better- not much. A buddy said change the plugs, and if it's not better you may need some carb work. Any thoughts would help. Thanks
