Hi Guys, today we were knee boarding and when a 100kg guy went behind the boat, it strained the motor, and the motor had a big incident.
1. The throttle could no longer be changed at all as it was driving around at 10knts, we had to turn it off while it was going.
2. It then didn't start for awhile
3. We managed to get it starting, but it was idling very high despite the throttle being in neutral, lowest rev's position.
Before all this happened, there was already something very wrong with the engine, it was only giving us 50% power and idling rough at low revs, as though a cylinder or something was not running, so perhaps we strained it too much.
What could have happened?
What should I do?
The service from 3 months ago, says that the engine had a bad gearbox.
