"Twin 454 XLi 1998. Been havin
"Twin 454 XLi 1998. Been having an issue recently where when I first take off there is no issue with RPMs. But if I come off plane and putts around a bit and try to get back on plane, the port engine RPMs fall off dramatically around 2200 RPMs to almost idle RPM. If I back off just a tad on the throttle, the RPMs come back up. After a couple of minutes of trying though, she'll finally come up to speed. Once I get pass that magic 2200-2500 RPM, she runs fine.
I do not think it is gas, because it runs fine until I come off plane. I do not think it a filter because again she does fine until I come off plane. Could it be a timing, engine advance thing? It is however very dangerous in this state because as I bring her up, the stbd engine runs fine and she veers dangerously to port as the port engine RPMs roll off.
Ideas?
