Default 2000 90 Ficht Evinrude Won't Idle

A friend's 90 FICHT will run at advanced rpm's but dies when it is taken down to idle. We've checked for any obvious problems like loose electrical connections or a leak in the fuel line, and none seem to exist. We also couldn't find an idle adjustment so I'm assuming that that's controled by computer.

Any advice will be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance......Tony

you need to find an OEM repair shop that will service a Ficht. they are a different animal from standard 2 strokes.

Part of diagnostics is spending time figuring out not only what the problem is, but also sorting through what it isn't.

The older the engine is, the chances of it having more than 1 problem goes up exponentially

Boating has always been a rich mans hobby. Buying a new boat gets cheaper every year, but the maintenance, the repairs, and the overall cost of ownership of a boat has never gotten any cheaper.
