Hi, We had our boat in the mechanics a couple weeks ago because it was backfiring a lot, they diagnosed low and high pressure and changed both of those. Couple weeks it was fine and now, it starts fine when cold but really struggles once it's warm. Cranks for 10 seconds doesn't start, after about 5-6 attempts it starts, Also at about 2000-3000rpm it backfires (just the once). If you increase throttle slowly over time doesn't seem to backfire.

Additionally, seems to burn through oil fast, don't think this is related.

It's my bosses boat but can get more info for anyone. Thanks in advance for your help.

Brad
