1967 91/2 hp outboard trouble

[ggburke]

It starts and runs then cuts out and dies. Sometimes it starts right away and sometimes it doesn't.
I put it in a barrel and it runs good, but misses once in a while. It only dies in the water pushing my boat (under stress). I put gas stablizer in the gas, tried a different gas line hose and cleaned the plugs. But nothing works.

I had the water pump and the lower units seals replaced

It is hard to find a place that will repair it and part are outragous. The marine shop in my neighborhood won't touch anything older then 1980. Last year they fixed it. Any help would be great, Thanks in advance.

It sounds like a possible fuel problem. Remove the carburetors and throughly clean the jets and all the passages. Also check the compression. Be very careful when repairing the carburetor as parts are becoming very difficult to obtain.
