Post Vanguard dying problems
I went ride my boat and if was kinda acting up and would take a while to start when it would die, and it would wanna die when it was ideling even though the idel is set at 1000, then I had went hunting one weekend, and it was doing the same thing and when I got back the launch, it shut off and was sputtering when I was trying to start it, when I got back and reset the valve lash thinking that was it, then I went ride yesterday, and it was doing the same exact thing, and wouldn't start when I got back to the launch, and it was sputtering and all, think somehow I'm getting too much fuel or the valves still aren't set right ?

You could have trash in your carb, a bad connection in your fuel line, water in your gas. What did you check other than the valves? What makes you think it's getting to much fuel?
