My Opti 115 had some water issues after a fill at a remote location.I have drained fuel system , replaced plugs and filters , checked coils and compression. Replaced fuel filter , drained VST - a little bit of water , no debris. It has new dual 12 v batteries that are fine. Fuses are fine.
No error codes on the vessel view system..
Still struggling to start and idle and when it does it sputters and surges up to 100 rpm . I cleaned the TPS as this apparently can be an issue- no change.
It runs fine at WOT - no power loss or surges at all.
I suspect the air pressure regulator and am not keen to be pillaged by mercury for a new rail.
Fuel pressure is good - 120
Pressure differential between fuel and air regulator> 20
I removed the rail and the regulator diaphragms. There is no tracker valve on the 115
They are the purple ones - the air pressure regulator one was caked with gunk , which I carefully removed. I don't see a hole or tear and there is one tiny rough spot on one of the edges , but it appears to seal fine. The fuel pressure regulator diaphragm appears pristine. I'm really worried that I have a reed valve problem as the fuel rail and injectors all appeared fine.
Do I need to buy a new diaphragm?
How can I inspect the reed valves without disassembling the entire system?
I may as well do it as all the cowlings are off , but removal of the oil tank and the myriad of tiny hoses intimidates me.
