Hey Guys, I have a 86 Bayliner Capri with Penta 350. My problem is I
can get it started and then it will just die after a minute of idle.
When I give it gas, it bogs down and dies too. This problem just
started. I have replaced the fuel filter and fuel pump. Should I also
replace points? Carb is pumping the gas with no prob. it seems from
visual inspection.

Does it restart right away after it stalls or do you need to wait a
little while? If you need to wait chances are that the small
screen/filter that is usually right at the carburetor has got loose
debris floating around in it. Try cleaning or replacing. You may
also need to clean the carburetor bowl if you can get at it.
