I had just filled the fuel tank up. It had a little less than 1/2 tank before that. I suspect trash in the fuel filter? The POP threw me off though. Very odd.
John,
I would guess fuel filter/bad fuel, are you using Marine Sta-bil? Most people dump it in when they winterize, personally I start to use it in September at every fill up to completely mix into the entire fuel tank and delivery system.
