Hi, hoping someone can be of assistance. I live in a remote area...no mechanics. I hooked my 280 sundancer up to the garden hose and ran each engine for 10-15 minutes everything was fine.
On launch day, after a couple of minutes the port engine stalled with the alarm (beep) going off evert 2-3 minutes or so.
Spoke with a mechanic by phone he asked if the engine started at WOT. After checking the fuel/water separator, tried starting with WOT. The engine started no problem but would die once I brought the throttle back below 800 rpm. Alarm still sounding every 2-3 minutes.
This morning, put some injector cleaner in the gas and took the boat out for a ride...hoping the problem would go away..
After approx 10 minutes into the ride at cruising speed (approx 3000 rpm) the alarm became solid with a message reading (Reduce Throttle)
I shut the motor down.
Tried starting again once back at dock, start with WOT but stalls once the throttle is pulled back in the normal position.
No diagnostic tools or scanners around.
Can anyone help?
Fred
