So I pretty much ran the engine there at the dock. I think the fuel is so bad in it it just eventually stopped sputtering and running when I got down to a quarter tank. Debating whether or not to drain it first or get some fresh stuff in there.
When I changed filter the other day it smelled...
Well oddly enough I’m sitting at the dock and now the OTHER engine is running rough idle and the original is smooth. I swapped the coil from one engine to another, no difference.
Temp good, oil good. I think it might just be older gas. It runs well then kind of jumps a bit. I’m running it...
I hear you, and that's exactly why I'm hesitant to start breaking things down and replacing air sensors, coils, wires, whatever because it could be something else entirely!
I will add it's not just the RPM's all over at idle- After my last outing it first went into SLOW mode, though it also...
I didn't even think to check/replace the Ignition coil or the

I just have to figure out if I have both or one of these and where they are ha
I went to the marina and unplugged the breaker today and the rpms still jumped around. In addition the cooling system is all good per the gauges and temp gun.
As I came back to the marina after SLOW mode started, the RPMS were still kind of all over.
I'm wondering if it's that air sensor...
Their website is a little confusing. When you look under the picture it has the engine listed under it, if you click the wrong picture it takes you to the wrong place.
For one it shows the engine as having a coolant system but mine clearly doesn't haha!
When you clicked on fuel system, look...
Side thought- same gas in both engines and the other engine runs fine. The problems w the other engine seem to be intermittent. Not sure if and how that factors into fuel quality.
ty captain!
Thank you, Dodge! I saw you give feedback to another member and was hoping you would weigh in!
I still have half a tank of gas in there in a 75 gal tank. Should I add more fuel or try to have it drained first? Sounds expensive haha!
Did you see my post about the Air Charge Sensor? What are...
I have 2 Penta 5.0fi. Oddly enough when I went into slow mode last night, the other one wouldn’t get above 3000 rpm’s, or it struggled to run at full capacity it seemed.
I read through your checklist and didn’t see the impeller. I know they’re supposed to be changed every year. Just
I didn't...
