See my model number by my avitar. 01 Ficht 175
This year after having some fuel pump issues the engine ran OK the rest of the season, but I noticed it idles 200 rpm low and lost the same 200 rpm at WOT.
Any thoughts?

when was the last time you had the compression checked? had the motor refreshed? had your tach checked ? these are questions the guru's will probably ask, also when the last leak down test?
losing rpms at both idle and hi end can mean a lot but with out info just means you are losing rpms.

The engine had that fuel issue and all was checked out fine (june). THe problem was there after they finished, but since it was running OK, I did not get it back in right away.
Tach is fine, I can tell its running slower by MPH at troll and WOT.
But, I don't know what a leak down test is, and
What do you mean "refreshed"?
having the heads pulled, new rings, and such as for the leak down I will let one of the guru's explain it as I am not the best in the world explaining things

Not sure, but the boat is in the shop now so I'll see what they say.
Have any of you "sharpies" seen a low idle/loss of rpm range before?
