"Crusader 454 - 1988
Engines Cutting Out
________________________________________
We've been battling a problem with our 2 454 Crusader (1988) engines. First the port engine would stumble at speed then run at 2000 RPM. Sometimes it wouldn't start afterwards. Now the starboard engine cuts out completely at 2500 RPM but restarts and runs at idle.
We've changed some fuel filters & will change the remaining ones. Found some water in the gas line between the 2 filters - not a lot, so put in 8 bottles of isopropyl alcohol. No change. new coil on the starboard engine - no change. Switched electronic modules on the engines when the starboard was OK - no change - the starboard engine stumbled.
We've gone through 1/4 tank since it started.
Were baffled especially since the seem to run at lower RPM.
More water in the gas? Both engines would point to that.
Electrical?
Anyone who thinks they might have an idea, or have had a similar problem, PLEASE HELP!!!
Thanks
