Loss of power and more

[cburgin]

On our 1992 Bayliner Capri 120 L Drive, we are experiencing a loss of power after about 2 hours of play. Everything seems ok the next day until you run for aprox 2 hours. Fuel mix is correct, fuel delivery seems to be ok, and carbs have been gone through.<br /><br />Another problem. There seems to be a intermittant idle problem. Sometime it will do fine while other times it will go dead when you put it into gear. I have to use the fast idle alot. <br /><br />Another Problem. What would cause the throttle to be stiff when pulling back to neutral?<br /><br />Thanks<br />Chris

Re: Loss of power and more

Just a thought, but I am assuming that an L-drive is Force 2-stroke powerhead attached to an I/O type drive.<br /><br />That being said, could you have a faulty coil pack or packs? The idle could be caused by a few of the cylinders dropping off. Same goes for the loss in power.<br /><br />When you are having the idle problem, check for spark on all cylinders to see if you dropped a couple of them..

Re: Loss of power and more

throttle stifness is the throttle cable <br />the 2hr problem is more than likely the power pack it heats up and its resistance increases <br />this may solve your idle problems too<br />trevor
