Ok so maybe she's right. But at this point I really want to fix this thing myself. Local shops are backed up 2 weeks+ anyway. I might as well keep trying. I'm just going to put as much info down as I can think of.
Here's what I've got:
2012 8hp
Mod: 1F08201FK
Ser: 0r517065
pull-start/tiller
Here's what it's doing:
A couple months ago I was cruising along WOT (generally about 20mph) when it quickly bogged then came back bog a little longer then came back. I thought it must've been an air bubble or a little condensation or something. Didn't think much else of it.
Next trip or two it was fine. Let me add that this is mounted on a Gheenoe fishing machine - I don't have to run more than 5-10 minutes to get to my spots.
Pretty soon it started happening again. I was a little more concerned but didn't have a ton of time to dig in and it wasn't stopping me from fishing.
At this point it only runs properly intermittently - not the other way around. It runs rough with or without load and WOT is giving me around 40% power.
Here's what I've done to it:
started by changing out the gas - just did this again non-ethanol
rebuilt the carb - then rebuilt it again with the kit for new seals and gaskets
rebuilt the fuel pump with new diaphragm and gasket
engine oil and gear oil are changed regularly and look good
plugs look good - light blueish spark
Other info:
engine looks great - timing belt looks brand new - telltale is strong and warm
each time I fix something at home - it seems to run well until I put it in the water
back in 2017 it was totally underwater for less than a minute - I followed some online guides and it's been running great until recently
