Strange 150 Vmax Occurance

[Jigdaddy]

I was at Sam Rayburn last weekend. I launched the boat, started it, tied it up, then parked the truck. After that I idle'd out of the no-wake zone and the motor sounded "funny". I went to get on plane and it would just plow. No RPM. I immediately put it in neutral and killed the motor. I let it sit a few seconds and restarted. It ran fine all day.

Can a prolonged idle cause the carbs to act up? I am not overly concerned because it ran fine after that.

Thanks,

Jason

That sounds jsut like what mine was doing...

It ended up being a lose wire....Check all your ground wires...I actually traced mine back to a lose ground wire that was going from the battery to the starter.

Simple, simple solution.

Hope this helps...GOOD LUCK!

I have had the same issue. I have never figured it out.

Sounds like it might have been flooded. I had the same issues before but it was my carbs. Once the were out of synch and the last time the needle valves were sticking which was causing it to flood out. But once on plane it ran fine. Nothing wrong with letting it idle for the first few minutes of the morning, do this all the time with mine.

I had the same thing happen when the starter didn't dissengage the flywheel. Turned the engine off and restarted and ran fine the rest of the day. The engine had a bogged down sound to it and would just plow and wouldn't get on plane. Sounds very similiar to your experience.
