Post Go-devil problem
I have a 16hp go-devil longtail and lately it's been stalling after a few minutes of cruising. It runs fine out of water but when it's got a load on it it stalls. I run it multiple times per week and I run sea foam through it every 3-4 tanks. The carb was cleaned about six months ago. It also has new spark plugs in it. Any advice would be appreciated

Had that happen on my old LT and it was a coil pack breaking down.

Saw this a bit down the list and was curious about the outcome. Hope you got it figured out already.

Mine was doing a similar thing. It was a fuel starvation issue due to an overly restrictive fuel bulb (fancy one from BassPro). Once I replaced it with a regular Atwood fuel bulb from Walmart, my motor runs like a champ.

This is another possible cause if you've recently switched out some fuel line components.

Nate, it turned out to be water in the gas tank. Got the tank and carburetor cleaned out and it runs great now
