"This problem started last wee
"This problem started last weekend since purchase of outboard in '05. At WOT (5400 RPM), it ran fine for a few minutes then it slowed down without throttle movement. I placed it in neutral then WOT...the max RPM was @ 3700. It lost its power. It idles normal in neutral.
The motor currently has 175 hrs, never been professionaly serviced except in its 20th hr. I ran the boat at least once a month, use Yam. Ring Free additive @ almost every fueling & have replaced Yam. water/fuel separator filter three times(third one this morning). I also replaced the sparkplugs, replaced fuel filter element and lower unit oil.
I used the boat this afternoon and the problem happened again. Is there another fuel filter in this engine? Or do I have a major problem?
Please advise. Thanks."
