Hello.
I do have a serious problem with my engine. I bought it some months ago, and it was working fine in the beginning.
One day when I was heading out to the sea, it didn't anymore..
All of a sudden I couldn't get enough revs out of it. When it was running idle, there's no problem. When I put the gear on, there IS a problem. All the power disappears to somewhere... I can go on with max. 5 knots if even that.
Well, I took it up and changed just about everything, including gasline, sparking plugs etc.
Put it back to water, and everything worked fine at first but then the same disease appeared again. Crawling forward.
Now I want to ask you, what could possibly be wrong.
I've checked the gasline; it's ok. Sparks are just fine. Water runs with no trouble.
I don't know about the VRO-system, I may have to block it but I just wonder could it be only the VRO?
Is there a system that limits RPM if the engine gets too hot? Not that I've noticed it has ever heatened too much..
I have also heard about s.w.a.t or whatever it's name was, some sort of system anyway that could be related to engine heatening or lack of oil. That's about everything I know about it...
I wish I could find out what's wrong with the damn thing, so that I don't have to give in and take it to a repairshop. That would be humiliating.
Anxiously waiting for good answers, thanks in advance.
And if someone's wondering how am I writing so bad language , it's because this isn't my mother language. I'm Finnish.
