1999 Glastron GS185SF with VP 30GS MWTR motor.
Still playing with the more sudden poor or dies at idle, lack of power performance on the lake, issues of my motor. Fresh gas, full bottle of seafoam in each tank full and still no luck. I installed an inline fuel-water separator filter this fall and it didn't seem to help my situation.
I suspect I may be pulling some water to my intake side of the intake-exhaust manifold on my VP 3.0 4 cylinder motor, as I have seen wet plugs, but just not 100% sure if it was gas or water.
I saw in the VP service manual that you can pressure test the V6/V8 motor manifolds, but I saw nothing on pressure testing the 3.0 4 cylinder manifolds. Is this because it is not possible to do this with this motors manifolds or is this just an omission from VP?
Or do you need to fall back on a 'remove and visually inspect' for cracks or maybe the outlet gasket.
Appreciate any wisdom.
Best Regards,
Brent.
