So I heres the report, even though I already wrote one (when everything was still fresh in memory) previously that didnt make it to the board due to my internet crashing.
So I finally got to test her out this past sunday. I am disappointed to say the overall result was mostly unchanged from how it normally runs.
I normally never take the boat to the ramp without test firing for the season on the muffs. This time was different. I wanted to jump on the temporary good weather and didnt have enough time for a test fire. I did manage to change the spark plugs and the l/u oil before launch. However, after I finally got her fired up (took a good bit) she seemed to be running much better than normal. Although the top end seemed a bit less, she had no problem with acceleration or low speed idling….for about 15 minutes. Then she went back to her normal self, with the exact same issues.
I was pretty confident the adjustment leading to the plates fully closing would have solved the problem. It hasnt. I just picked up a new fuel filter and primer bulb. I dont think either is the cause of my problems, but cant hurt to change em each season. I think the next place to check is either the recirculation valves or the timing sync. The behavior I mentioned above makes me lean more towards the valves. Im wondering if they are ok for the first few minutes of operation, then get stuck ? What do you think the best way to proceed is at this point ?
