Got the injectors back. Report from the mechanic was that one had a horrible spray pattern. After cleaning them, they flowed and sprayed correctly. He said he didn’t think the improper spray pattern was enough to cause the rpm limiting I’m seeing. He didn’t have Any suggestions as to what to...
That’s what I was leaning towards. I don’t have a whole lot of experience with marine engines in general, but I always assumed that you wanted a load on them when shifting. Thus I never do it out of water. I’m open to whatever opinions or experience is out there. It would be a way to...
I have not tried that. Is it ok to remove the prop and put it in gear on a water hose? I ended up pulling the injectors and taking them to a guy to be cleaned and flow tested. Initial report from him is that one of them wasn’t acting right. He was going to reclean them and I should have them...
Just got back from a test ride and it runs exactly the same, 3800 rpm Max. I could not find anything about a feedback loop on the trim limiting rpm. I ran another compression test and it was all good. It starts and idles good, when I put it in gear it seems to vibrate more than I would like...
I opened up the separator tonight and the grommet seemed to be jammed in on one side and there were a few splits in the wide part. towards the pump. i ordered a new Honda Pump and Grommet, and will report back after install and test ride.
No difference after the filter change. Engine ran about 3800 rpm flat out with 6 people on board, 15 mph. I used a stethoscope to check the injectors while idleing, and they all sounded like they were working. Back to the drawing board.
And just a note on the speed of the boat, we’ve had 4 people on board, and at 3800 rpm we were at 17 mph on the gps. So 20 mph at 5800 rpm, sounds completely doable. Not so much looking for speed , just getting the engine running correct.
I pulled the high pressure filter out of the vapor separator last night, and it was the dirtiest filter I’ve ever changed in my life. So hopefully that may be the issue, it’s the first thing I’ve found that could possibly be a cause, everything else checks good. I haven’t had the separator...
Thanks for working the calculation out. I looked at quite a few of those prop calculators, including the Honda one but couldn’t find the answer I was looking for. Yeah I’m perplexed as well. I’m going to change all of the fuel filters when they get here, and I’ll report back if that changes...
I believe they have upgraded and sold all of their old inventory. But I do understand that this boat is a big boat for only a 60hp, it almost kept me from buying it. But I’m not really looking for speed, just want the motor to reach its cruising rpm. The prop is a stainless Honda prop 3x14x11...
