2002 X-star, 310 HP Indmar TBI motor. 500 Hours.
Was out today. Filled ballast, pulled a rider, no problems. Sat for a while as a rain storm came through than went again. Pulled rider up, just as we were getting to speed. The engine made 3 or four popping sounds like it was missing or backfiring. Boat lost power engine light and alarm came on and I shut it down. Temp, volt and oil pressure was all good. Oil looks good and at normal level. Full tank of gas. Nothing in the engine got wet from the rain that I could see. No fluids in the bilge. Boat wouldn't start back up. Sat for 10 minutes, boat started up and idled normal. When I tried to get over 5-7 mph it would start missing and popping again and have no power. Idled to the dock. Dropped riders off, boat wouldn't start again. Let it sit for 10 minutes, it started back up and I ran it at 5-7 mph for the mile or so ride to the launch. A couple more times I tried getting going a little faster and it had no power and sputtered, missed, popped. Any ideas? Thanks.
