Winnipesaukee, FYI I had totally drained my gastank, refilled with fresh 89 Octane gas, new fuel/separting filter, and added a can of Seafom at the recommendation of 'Jst_4_Kiks' (he's a Marine Tech).

Boat ran fine 1st time out this season, second time started this issue again. Engine seems like it's not gettting the gas, with stalling, however with the back-firing
symptoms, it seems to point to an ignition related problem to me. 'Jst_4_Kiks' seems to concur.

Boat at marine repair shop now. Having them check Distributor Cap, Rotor.
Both are probably orginal, at least I have not changed out since I owned boat (3 yrs). Boat is 1995, not sure what original owner did?

Your comments are greatly appreciated !
