"Details:
1977 Silverton 28' Sedan w/ flybridge
Twin 220 Crusaders - original engines
Beginning of the 2009 boating season we just replaced the distributors and went to electronic ignition...GREAT results.
Here we are at the end of the season - - the temps on lake MI has been less that warm to say the least. The last two times we have been out (mid/upper 30's to low 40's) both engines have run great...I gave them a bit more time to warm up due to the outdoor temps...rather be safe than sorry. Everything goes great...can cruise at 2000 RPM's...no problems. When I push it a bit more...just over 2200 RPM's, my normal cruising speed, the starboard engine trails off...first you can hear it and then you start to see it on the tach. You can pull the throttle back and it will slowly recover but if you try and push the throttle forward to get through it, it is worse than pulling back on the throttle. In fact trying to push through it is a good way to nearly kill it completely. I have never actually lost the engine and with this being a new problem, I am not sure where to start.
Not knowing what to do, I did replace the fuel filters. That is about the extent at the moment. Would love to have things cleared up before putting it to bed on Monday. Let me know your thoughts and thanks in advance guys!"
