well guys my 87 black max 175 HP is not healthy anymore.
since about last spring its been acting up a bit. every once in a while at blast off it has had no power. Put the hammer down on the throtle and it would just bog.
Slowley but surley she would build up some power and get on plane. after a little bit of this she would take off like a rocket and run like a champ the rest of the day.
Never miss a beat for many trips.
Then this problem would show its face again and go away just as fast.
I just figured it needed to be run to blow the carbon out or whatever.
well today that problem showed up and did not go away. In fact became worse.
she never got past about 3,500 RPM. when shes right I run 5,000 and capable of about 6000
So 3,500 was all I could get. So I drove it at that for a few miles. Then for the first time the spuddering and coughing began. Jugging and spiting.
Nursed her home on idle.
what do you guys think? sound fuel related?
could it be a switch box? Stator? Coils?
I took the carbs apart this afternoon and cleaned em out. found some debries in the fuel filter at the fuel pump.
have not had a chance to put her on the water yet after the cleaning
any clues?
