Launched the boat today with some disappointing results.......
Launched boat, started engines w/ no problems, idled @ 650RPM after warm-up.
Backed away from the ramp and was impressed with how well the engines idled and spun the boat when the engines were shifted in opposite directions.
After underway in a no wake zone @ ~ 1000 RPM the port engine started to fluctuate in RPM (1000-1500RPM), seemed to smoke a bit also, thought because it was the 1st run w/ a load?
After exiting the no wake zone, I attempted to throttle up, and the port engine would not go above ~2500RPM, seemed like it wanted to but couldn't.
No lights/horns or anything.
Got to the slip, set the lines and left.
Was just thinking maybe I could have tried pumping the bulb?
Looking for some suggestions........hoping it's something stupid.
Tha stb engine seemed to run great!
