?? fuel issue on low revs

[smile0784]

Have you considered getting a mechanic who actually knows what they’re doing to fix it? If you’re heading offshore soon it might be best to give the backyard job a miss and have a professional do it

Yes considered it but would like to know whats going on with it for if something goes on while im at sea i could possible fix it or to know what is wrong so i can drive the boat back accordingly.

Took the air filter off and found oil in the carbie so looks like im running a rich mix.

Disconnect the fuel line and found a fine filter and there is no gunk in it.

Water in fuel usually comes from 2 sources // From new petrol being added at service station or from condensation inside your fuel tank, both of which are very hard to eliminate, hence water filter incorporated in fuel filter.

If i can change a fuel filter and change spark plugs. Why pay for someone to do it.
Im not a complete invalid.
If the problem is more serious then that of course ill get a mechanic to look at it.

And was planning to get it serviced before i go away anyways to check over the other things like impella and housing and seals etc

Thats un-Australian....next you'll want him to read instructions before assembling something

OK, smile0784, did you identify the problem and had it fixed or fixed it yourself.

Many readers of these posts would be interested in the cause and fix as others may experience the same.

Feedback is always good

Not a chance. The end is near. Decided today that nothing further can be done
