I have some used 3.0 liter 05 and 06 225 Optimax parts for sale. 2- VST assys. (with red fuel filter) $250 ea 1 crankshaft $250 6- rods $35 ea or $180 for all 1- reed plate complete w/ newer...

I had a similar thing on my 05 225 opti. Ran perfect until I put the throttle to WOT. If I backed it down less than 100 RPM it ran perfect all day long. After 7 (yes 7) bad throttle position...

Thank you for all of your help! I wonder the odds of 2 faulty sensors? Being in the automotive repair field for over 35 years I know it is possible. The engine is ALWAYS started in neutral and...

Replaced the cover and lever. Same results, alarm on acceleration and high idle.

Will do. Thanks! (I misunderstood about the throttle only)

No, I didn't replace the cover or lever. The throttle lever is always in the "N" position when I start the engine and I never move the throttle with the engine off unless I use the throttle only. ...

Agreed. But, as I stated, it has been to 2 dealers and hooked to the scanner. Was told to replace the part.

I have a 2005 225 Opti serial # 1B148772. The original TPI is giving a sometimes rough idle and an intermittent "dead spot" at full throttle and only going to about 5400 rpm when the dead spot isn't...

Thanks for all of the info. It hasn't failed yet. There is just some slight play in the pulley. I just don't want it to fail completely so I am watching it closely. In the parts book it looked...

I was replacing my alternator belt and noticed play in the air compressor pulley shaft and "rust dust" on the inside of the pulley. Is this end cap serviceable or does the compressor need replaced...

Just a follow up. Was out on the Ohio River today and I seem to have my performance back, it seemed to be a whole lot better what little I was able to run it. Then I hit something and gears started...

Apparently I should be a better reader. I did not know about the fuel line issue. The inner liner of the hose (plastic looking part) had separated from the outer (gray) layer but hadn't gone to...

I have an '05 Opti 225 Ser.# 1B148772 on a 520 Ranger that sometimes bogs down on takeoff and is starting to lose top end RPM. It has TDR reeds with about 80 hours on them, fuel filter and plugs...

Thanks for the help!

I am trying to find Where to attach the Talon's green wire on a 2005 Ranger 520 with a 225 Opti. Not sure which is run on the touchpad or if there is somewhere on the engine to attach it to. Thanks

Talked to Don today. He was very helpful and professional. Talked me through the job. Ordered reeds and gaskets from him and should be back on the water soon. Thanks again Don!

Sure enough, broken reed.

Don,
I changed the plugs and found one plug wire bad by ohm testing and replaced it. It was very weak out of the hole last night, bogged down and had to feather the throttle to get it on pad. (Not...

I'm sure this has been covered before, but...I have a 2005 Opti 225 that fouled the plugs in about 35 hours of use. I got about 150 hours out of the last set before I noticed any problems. I always...
