"I have a 1994 90 dg. crossflo
"I have a 1994 90 dg. crossflow . Powerhead was rebuilt about 2 years ago . I have not let it sit for long periods of time . It had a sneeze after it was overhauled and died alot at idle but otherwize ran strong. I took it back to the shop and after some "syncronizing" the first trip out it seemed to run good and idled better. Next week I took it out with extra people in the boat and was forced to run at low speed for an extended time due to weather conditions. I noticed after a while I could open the throttle all the way and I was barely accelerating. I checked the plugs and they were wet. I have since changed the plugs a few times. It still idles great and once it gets going it runs really well after it planes. If you have to run at slow speed for any distance you open to full throttle and you wonder if it is going to do anything and then it will gradually accelerate and finally it will take off and run fine. Plugs run pretty wet and dark.I am mixing fuel 50/1. Shop that rebuilt it removed VRO. They charged 220.00 to "adjust it" last time while powerhead was still under their warranty. I want to try and fix it myself. Thanks , fishhead 1500"
