Hey guys, just joined here. i have a problem with 2 detroit engines on a marine powered boat. off a 33' its a v8 four stroke diesel powered.
PROBLEM:
the engine idles fine and when i rev the engine up to say, 1200 both motors will rev up to 2000-2500 rpm after a 3 second pause. im not sure if the governor is the main problem or not. but it happens on both engines. the throttle cables are snug tight. is there a possibilty that the air/fuel ratio be off? is there any turbo lag on these motors? i do have a boost gauge. and they are in boost. i know you can adjust the governor but doesnt the governor pushes fuel at idle and at full board? and I've read that the fuel pump right behind the governor has a spring that can go bad?
