Hi, Just joined the forum and hoping for some help / advice with my 70 hp TLDI.
Engine starts fine and runs perfectly.....but twice now, when I have stopped for a little while fishing, then restarted engine it has stalled, been reluctant to start again, then once running again as the boat accelerates the engine starts surging, cutting out and stalls again. This has happened twice, and engine taken about 5 minutes of playing up, before it seems to go back to normal!
To me it seems like a fuel problem but I can't see anything obvious which is wrong, and I don't understand why it seems to work again.
On both occasions, the boat has been sitting in a choppy seas, with the engine going up and down a fair bit, any ideas?
I get no warning lights come on. I had some previous fault codes which I thing was from before I bought the engine, I cleared them after the first time this happened and when the engine plays up i get no codes or warning lights so I'm guessing its not an electrical / ignition problem??
Any advice will be much appreciated!
