Try running it a little richer until it stays running. How does the plug look?

Since that is a new boat and probably not broke in yet, you will have to keep tuning it until it is fully broke in..... even then you will have to tune it every so often. You may also want to keep a few glow plugs handy since they do go bad sometimes, I usually replace mine on the last tank of break-in and evry 10th tank afterwards.

Mine had no problems and I just took it out this past weekend for break in.

Maybe you are running too lean and over heating engine.

Just follow the break in instructions for settings.

check to make sure you have no blockages in the fuel tank pressure line. If there is no pressure in the tank it won't run for long
