    2012 250 etec first start in a year

    Ok so normally no issues put stabilizer and startron in last year ran it into engine did my usual but it’s been a whole year anyway new plugs new gas filter slash water separator put it on the muffs starts right up no hesitation at all idles great but when I give her a rev or two just to wake her up she shakes her head violently from side to side til I let back to idle I thought it was missing but then noticed the bulb was almost flat now I’m going to replace it with a new omc bulb I just want to know if you think that’s the reaction I would get when it’s calling for fuel and not getting as much as it wants thanks pat

    I believe the rev limiter is pretty low in Neutral also

    There is a rev limiter when the control is in neutral. Rpm limit is 1000-1200 rpm.

    Yes reving her in neutral it will shake and sound like it is missing. Needs to be in gear, which might not be a good idea out of the water
