5.7 Indmar engine with fuel injection will very infrequently not start (once during 4 hours of wakeboarding).  After running fine, turn off engine to switch riders and when I try to start up it turns over well, idles briefly then stalls, after few attempts it will turn over but not start.  Tried putting and neutral then gunning it but again stalls.  Wait a few minutes then it starts right up and runs fine.  I replaced the fuel filter which was surprisingly dirty and added Heat in case there was water in the fuel.  Ran fine a few weeks, then did it again Friday (last time on boat).  I just replace the fuel filter again just to see how bad it was it seemed very clean.

Any suggestions?
Thanks
Tom

Tom,
If you are running ethanol fuel, I recommend not adding the Heat. You don't want extra alcohol.

Good to know Pete.  Fortunately I have only been running ethanol free fuel.
Thanks
Tom
