Is there a rev limiter on this motor? Runs great the first out on the water, slow down then it doesn't want to rev up again unless it is in neutral. Can't find anything listed in parts list, is surge limiter the same thing? Thanks for any help you can give.
 
Surge limiter , I think you might be referring to the " pulse limiter " for the fuel pump.-----------Is water pump OK and motor not running hot ?---------Checked for water in fuel ?--------Checked to make sure there is strong spark on all 3 cylinders.-------Has the water pump indicator been moved to the top of the block as per a service bulletin from 1994 ?
 
Wasn't sure if that is what it was called. Son in law thought maybe rev limiter. Water pump is good, motor stays cool when running, checked to make sure fuel and oil was fresh and clean, good spark on all three cylinders as they were rebored last year and machine tested. Will check on water pump location. Thank you for your response. If enything else comes to you, please let me know.
 
Still having problem; fine first on water, pull back throttle then motor refuses to rev up again. revs fine in neutral. Where might I find a diagram concerning the bulletin moving the water pump indicator? Water circulation seema fine, discharges cool and the motor stays cool - not overheating. If there was a fuel issue, would the motor cough-spit-chug? Mine runs smooth. Any help please.
 
All running motors rev fine in nuetral it, proves very little!-----It will do that running on 2 cylinders.----------------Time to trouble shoot the motor.---Start with a compression test.-Then check to see if you have spark on each cylinder that will jump a gap of 7/16" or more.--Are all 3 carburetors opening up fully ( no linkages loose or fallen off ?----------Is the timer base under the flywheel rotating when throttle is advanced.---------------Does the tell tale hose come off the top of the block or from the side at the exhaust manifold ??????
 
Ok, compression test already done, it's good, used tester loaned from auto parts store. Will start doing the rest. Water pump indicator comes from the side at the exhast manifold. Any knowledge of the bulletin?
 
amazing that it has not been recommended by any service adviser , bulletin came out in 94.-----It is available " on line "----just do a search for it.----I have it saved on my computer as a " favourite"
