Ok, after this weekend about two hours into our 2.5 hr trip my starboard engine (170 hrs) starts losing power and fluctuating RPM's. Running smooth at about 3000 rpms then starts to drop down to 800-1000 then bounce back up. Did this for approx 15 minutes then shut down. Excessive white smoke (more than normal) out of the exhaust while running. I cut the port engine back and "putted" for about 10 minutes. Cranked up the starboard and fired right up. Ran smooth for twenty minutes at 2500 rpms and little white "smoke" from exhaust as it normally does. Started to fluctuate again when I reached destination. Haven't ran it since- left it at the marina as I didn't want to "chance" it getting back home.
The fuel pump and fuel filter was changed a few weeks ago and had been running stronger than ever since. Now this. Driving there tomorrow to mess with it, bringing a new fuel filter with me. All advice and ideas are appreciated.
