    02 225 efi sneezing??

    hey Don, one of the other guys said you may be able to answer my question. my 02 225 efi runs great at wot, but sneezes a bit at idle or low rpm. it will run fine for a few seconds then sneezes, and runs fine again. It seems to get better if i run the boat hard down the lake for a bit. any ideas??

    TPS (or loose linkage bushings) issue, engine temp (or temp sensor issue), incorrect (or fouling) spark plugs *USE ONLY CHAMPION QL77CC*, leaking bleed lines or check valves, leaking intake or reed plate gasket, pulse fuel pump diaphrams weak or leaking, damaged reeds, etc.

    These are a "few" of the items that come to mind.... and should be checked/verified.
