Hey guys, so I’ve been scratching my head quite a bit last two weeks.
i recently bought a new to me Parker 2110 with a 2002 Honda outboard, upon going and seeing the boat the motor ran perfectly. I took it out and it also ran perfectly with a WOT of 32 MPH.
going further I decided to go ahead and take the boat for a offshore excursion and test my luck. Day didn’t go well, I ended up getting towed in. What an adventure.
anyways I get home and do extensive research and see many posts from this website with previous problems.
to begin the problems I’m having is that the max RPM Im able to get is about 4500 RPM.
secondly, once motor seems to warm up it doesn’t want to idle perfectly, ex: it isles around 1000 and will surge up to maybe 1100.
with some of the research I found I started off buying the HP, LP fuel filters and went ahead and changed the racor. I found a lot of sediment. Inspected the fuel tank and it’s clean as a whistle.
by the way I’ve never seen someone strip the drain bolt as much as this particular VST had..I had to completely dismantle it to go from the top of the fuel pump. After inspecting the inside, it looked really good. Forgot to mention I also put new spark plugs on, due to specs of the manual
moving forward I took it out again after it idling around 1000 rpm..motor was back up and running but I am not happy with only being able to get to 4500 RPM. I take it home to wash it out on the muffs and I noticed the slight surging again.
now I’m really scratching my head as what this can be, I did notice the prime bulb does get a little bit soft after the boats running a bit or I restart the engine on the muffs.
fuel lines look brand new.
i went ahead and inspected the IAC and it was full of gunk! I went ahead and cleaned it. It didn’t do much, same result.
if y’all can help a guy out and see where I can go from here. I’d highly appreciate it.
There’s only about 600 hours on this motor
