I have a 1999 Ficht 115 on my boat that runs fine until I get to idle speeds - when it coughs, splutters and sometimes cuts out completely. It's been in the shop three times now, and they can't find a problem - the computer says everything's running fine. So I take it out and what happens - it coughs and splutters at low rev's again. In general happens after a day fishing as I head back into the harbour. Any ideas 'cos the workshop (and I've tried several) don't seem to have a clue.
Thanks |

Sounds like the old 'plug fouling' issue. Be sure You use the correct plug and correctly installed for that engine. Then try to find the OMC/BRP product called 'carbon guard' that they used to have, and add it to the fuel. |

One of the problems with the computer is that it won't tell you if the computer is the problem. When the computer is beginning to fail, frequently you will have trouble as it switches between homogeneous and stratified igntion. This occurrs between 1500 and 2000 rpms. |
