Hello all,
Long story short.......motor been sitting for a few weeks with no activity, had regular unleaded fuel in it. When to the lake and started it up, sounded rough at idle. Got it out on the water and gave it some gas...sputtered for a while and then stalled. Had a little bit of a hard time starting it back up and finally started. Got the boat up on plane and the motor still sounded rough...gave it some more gas and really ran rough. At time it would slip into a perfect hum for a few seconds and run perfect but then would go back to running rough.
Took it home, drained the fuel tank and found a little bit of water at the bottom. Refueled with super unleaded and cleaned the plugs. Started it up in my drive way and "still" sounded rough....accelerated some more and the motor would run high then low, high then low a second at a time....just kept doing that at higher speed would never smooth out like it used to. Suggestions?
Thanks in advance.
