"Hello all, It's been a while since I've been on the forum but I find myself here with a problem you may be able to give me some insight on. Lately, My STBD engine will not idle correctly. It runs great above 1200 rpm but as soon as I bring it down to idle the tach jumps up and down from 1000 to 400 and back. It sounds like it wants to bog out and then eventually does. If I put in in gear, it stalls out almost immediately. I also notice a slight stumble when I accellerate.
I've changed the fuel/water seperators, drained and replaced the fuel in the tank, replaced the screen filter in the carb and assured that there is proper fuel flow from the fuel pump. Yes, It's E10, and I have both motors running off the same tank at the moment, and port runs fine. I've also changed, the plugs, wires, caps, oil, and resistors. I've even gone as far as replacing the fuel lines in case the E10 was clogging up the lines/carbs. The condition exists wether the engine is hot or cold. I've also made sure that the fuel lines ar not near any hot hoses/components to avoid fuel vaporization. I've even replaced the batteries......
Does anyone have any ideas or is anyone experiencing the same problems???
Ps, I'm also noticing what looks like a slight amount of fuel on the water from the STBD exhaust. I could be wrong but that's what it looks like on the water. "
