Franco Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 Hi All, Took the boat out today and while driving the motor just switched off. Upon reving it doesn't seem to reving freely. Feels like the motor has lost it power and it doesn't seem to be running well. Wondering if anyone might have an idea of what the issue might be? Here is the video Video.mp4 I was thinking the computer is on the way out or possibly a piston issue? Not a fuel issue as I tested it on external tank as well.

zmk1962 Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 If fuel and spark are ok check compression on all cylinders. cheers Zoran 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fab1 Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 It's hard for anyone on here to diagnose without seeing it and running some tests.That motor sounds like it's missing which usually points to a problem with spark or fuel. Best bet is take it in and have it looked at properly than relying on our guesses. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just thought maybe someone might of had a similar issue or experienced it. I was looking at possibly even upgrading to a 50hp Suzuki. Anyone know trusted dealers which sell them in the Sydney region? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Franco Posted February 1, 2021 Author Share Posted February 1, 2021 Just an update. The mechanic never came which is not surprising. But the motor is running good now, I am thinking that it was bad fuel which caused it. I changed the spark plugs, onboard fuel filter and in-line fuel filter bit of fresh fuel and she is good as new. Thanks all for the input Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dunc333 Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 you probably saved yourself a few greenbacks as for the mechanic not showing up cheers dunc333 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
