Having running troubles with my VP 3.0GS MWTR motor. Dies on idle, power loss, now tending to overheat past the sub 150F normal temp.
Plugs 2&3 look black and sooty and plugs 1&4 are wet gas it certainly smells like, so Im guessing its not water.
I did have the boat running great the first outing this year, but then the next 3 outings it has run progressively worse and this last weekend, needed a tow back to the dock by a good samaritan.
Is there a simple litmus test of sort to check for water in the fuel. I'm thinking of just pulling my water separator filter and using that as a sample. I'm running NON-OXY 91 octane gas from a busy higher volume gas station with a bottle of Seafoam in every tank.
Appreciate any advice on that one.
