Hey guys need your help, my starboard engine keeps shutting off. I start it, it runs perfectly, no alarms no strange sounds. Runs for 5-30 seconds and just shuts off.. I have tried throwing some folded cardboard over the shut off switch but it doesnt make a difference..Thoughts?

Bad/old gas? Clogged injectors? Bad spark plugs? Dirty air filters?

@BakedZiti ......Also thinking electrical like: loose ground wire(s), ignition switch or its ground, kill switch - switch, ground or electrical failure?
