Hello all.
Where to begin........ For the past month or so, I've been unable to get the rpms past 4100 at full throttle. Where as in the past, it would run around 5100 to 5200 at full throttle. On Friday I replaced all four (4) spark plugs and fuel filter after running the engine through a decarb session. I got out on the water Saturday and had it running for about an hour. While running, it shut off all of a sudden. There where no loud pops, bangs, buzzers, etc..... No bad/unusual smells or smoke. It was like it ran out of gas, but this was not possible being that I had just put a half tank in it. Tried to restart it 4 or 5 times over the next hour. Ended up calling the tow boat.
I took it back to the ramp this morning to see if it would start. Let's just say it was a quiet ride back to the house.
Any thoughts folks? Thanks in advance.
