Help, my 2000 Yamaha 1200XL is doing some weird stuff. Just got it out for the first time of the season. I put new spark plugs in it, changed the fuel filter, filled it up and headed to the lake (of course with a new battery). Ran great for about 5 minutes, then it shut off. No spitting or sputtering, just dead. Tried to restart and the motor wouldn't turn over but I could here the starting trying. It acted like I locked up the engine, which had me real worried. I let it sit for a couple of minutes and then tried it again. Started fine and ran for another 2 minutes and then shut down again and the whole process kept repeating until I got it back to shore. The best the yamaha salesman could come up with was "bad gas" which makes no sense, but he told me to come back and talk to there "specialist" Any ideas? I hate taking stuff back to shops where they change parts out until they get it right. Thanks
