Hi,

Looking some advise. I have a VP 4.3 GXI with an SX-A leg. The boat runs great and idles fine but sometimes it will stall when changing from forward to neutral. It a real PITA when docking. Engine recently services, fuel pump cleaned - (its a little noisy but working fine)

Any ideas of what the issue could be. Note, the boat idles at about 600 RPM and will idle fine when warm.

Ideas - cable to shift interupt switch (if it has this)?
Injectors etc. - as its generally running fine I thing these would be OK?
anything else?

Thanks for the help.
 
Years ago there was a service bulletin on the pressure regulator screen being replaced with the c-clip on the 5.0 and the 5.7 e.f.i. Search the forums and there will be info on it. I would think it pertains to the 4,3 as well. I had the same problem on a 5.7 g.x.i., removed the screen, cleaned it off with gasoline , replaced it and never seen it again for five years.
