I have a 2004 two stroke 115TXRC that I cannot get to idle correctly and it bogs down when put into gear and dies. Ran great last year, stored for the winter with a half filled tank. It ran good the first time i had it out with a few coughs and a little rough start. Next time it was out same thing, rough start, fished for a while and took a long time to get it started back up. Ran good back to the dock. Next time it was out, rough start and then died while we were trolling out of the dock area, limped back to the ramp.
From here i changed all of the fuel lines and fuel/water separator. New fuel pump and took it to a mech who rebuilt carbs and tested the fuel for water (no water in fuel). He got it running on muff and it seemed to idle fine, took it to the water and idled horribly and did the same thing as before died when put into gear. took it back to mechanic and we are working on it together at this point.
Today we replaced the tstats (not in great shape), and spent 2 hours tying to get it to idle correctly. Tested spark, was weak on one cylinder and we cleaned the grounds and it was firing good. Adjusted the timing to spec and same thing. we got it to idle at specs but not when put into gear more times than not it would bog down and die during any type of acceleration (done in testing tank).
I am trying to figure out where to look from here. there was a leaking gasket in the poppet valve (not sure if spelled correctly and not sure how long it was leaking) this was fixed as well. I am leaning towards the computer (due to water being thrown around in the cowling) or the stator? I may have him do a link and sync with the carbs again (maybe it wasn't done correctly?)
Any advice would be great! you guys have helped me with many problems on several boats in the past.
