Hi all,
Was running around in our boat this morning and stopped at the marina for gas. After filling up and idling past the no wake zone, the engine doesn't run above 1600-1700 rpm, even at full throttle. It starts and idles just fine. It doesn't bog down and stall out.. it just won't run above 1600 RPM or so, even in neutral.
I don't think it's the gas.... it's a busy marina and there were boats before and after us that seem to be fine, and it idles smoothly. I suspect filling the boat may have sloshed up some junk that is maybe partially blocking the filter?
Before this, it's run fine all season and fine today, as well. It's going to be a couple of days before I can go get my trailer and bring it from my slip back to the house, but wanted to get some thoughts on what it might be ahead of time, in case i need to start ordering parts.
Thanks!
Nathan
