Default Engine running rough.... Here we go again !

NoBozo,
I checked the fuel line at Card, where big nut attaches to the Carb. THere is a Spring in there but no filter ! Mmmmmmmmmmmm........
Question, if there was a filter in there to trap particles, wouldn't that clog up and stall and/or shut down the engine ? WIll get filter at marine supply store.

Jrc,
Impellor just changed, and engine temp running around 140 Deg. Actually low !
I have heard others say, a bad coil will cause this symptom, if it overheats...
Could be the problem? Although, the last two marine techs down here in Mass. said 'no way' it was the coil. Then again, there were wrong about some other issues..... Geniuses!

Then again, could be relatd to a dozen other things???

Installing missing fuel filter at Carb connection, and also checking fuel/water filter located before fuel pump. Could be water in there ?

Approaching simple things first, process of eliminatioon.....

Thanks,
BD
