175DPLSE Took it out for the first time Saturday and IT started up great, run up and down the lake a couple of times and then was sitting in neutral for a few minutes. When I went to give it there no no power for a second or 2. This happened a number of times. Could this just be a matter of needing a new fuel filter? Thanks for any help.
Anyone have any ideas?
If it was mine and it's an 09' I'd talk to the dealer where you bought it just to have a paper trail in case something bad happens to your engine http://www.bassboatcentral.com/boardstuff2/beers.gif
what happened to the 3 year no maintnence. but definitly check the fuel filter. may have a bad plug also.
I have a 92 and had the same type of problem....carbon buildup....I used to clean my plugs every time I took it out but finally decided to have it checked out. The problem turned out to be that the thermostats were running the engine too cool, which is bad for a two stroke causing carbon buildup.
I switched to fixed gap plugs when I had this problem because they last longer and are easier to clean and you dont screw up the gap when cleaning them.
