I’ll give that a go, the boat is super slow now so I could have someone do it running normally hahaha

I also just did a leak down test and got the following results. The motor wasn’t probably completely at operating temp when I did it because I had some compressor issues but it was still warm.

I haven’t done a long run at full throttle but the next time I’m on the water, I will run a long hard run at full throttle and then kill it right away and pull the plugs. I pulled the plugs after a...
I have checked that all of the butterflies are opening perfectly horizontal and the rest of the linkages look to be perfectly set up. The fuel injectors were flow tested when the motor was built so...
Haha I had that same thought and I did verify that it is a 200 block. Short of tearing the thing down I don’t know what else to check, I haven’t performed a leak down test yet so that’s probably my...
Update, brought timing up to 23 degrees at static full throttle, and it made no noticeable difference on the water. Any other ideas?? This problem started after a fresh rebuild so maybe it’s just a...
Sounds like a recipe for some burnt hair haha, I had just unhooked the fuel pump. Some people mentioned unhooking the spark stabilizer box too but it’s not in the manual. I’ll advance that timing up...
Update: tested tps using the "wire in plug trick" and it tested perfectly within the manual specs. So that's not the problem. Also, is it correct that the ECU does need disconnected during full...
I did verify the linkage on the motor is actually getting full throttle, and it all looks good to me and butterflies are fully open. Yeah, I’m hesitant to believe that 4° of timing could have that...
Hello!
Engine is a 2000, 200 Mercury efi, Serial Number: OT157051
I am having some problems where I am lacking about 600 rpm of wide open throttle (only getting 5200), when I used to run 5800...
Thanks for the input on that guys! I will stick to the 87!:smile:

I live in Fort Collins Colorado and many of the lakes I fish have an elevation of about 5,000 feet. Our default octane fuel here is 85...
Unfortunately there is a hole through the block but I was considering calling Chris Carson to ask his opinion too since I have worked with him before.
Hello! I’m asking for a friend but his 2007 250 hpdi blew up recently and I was curious what opinions ya’ll had on replacement power heads? Are there companies that make high quality remanufactured...
Thank you guys! We got some Chris Carson reeds and I’ll let you know if that solves the problem when we put them on tomorrow!
That makes sense! We will be going with carbon reeds after the event but might just put in oem ones for now since I can get those before the tournament. Hopefully we don’t find any serious damage...
The event is on Saturday and it has to be the boat that we signed up with hahaha. I’m going to go to Crowley today and pick up a power head gasket set that includes the head gaskets and such and a...
We took the intake off today and found a chipped reed on the top cage with a good chunk missing. We are thinking we will take the heads off to check the cylinders and check inside the crankcase to...
Thank you for all the input! We had that injector professionally cleaned and checked and after putting it back on there is no change. That cylinders spark plug is still coming out soaked in...
Ya that’s kinda what I’m leaning towards. It’s weird that it would just stop working like that if that’s what is wrong. Thanks for the advice
post should be edited now with a picture, thank you!
Sorry I accidentally clicked post before writing haha

My buddies motor has recently been losing at least 700 of his top end rpm and is down on power. The motor still runs fine at idle and mid rpm range but at full...
