Engine (1997 112hp) cranks with no problem, but the RPMs are setting at 8500-9000. The engine sounds like it is idling normal. After running for awhile in water, the RPMs drop back to normal. Mr D
Welcome to iboats. <br /><br />I assume you mean 850 to 900. <br /><br />Check your throttle cable adjustment to make sure it's bringing the motor all the way back down to idle. Sounds to me like it isn't.
I hope it is a bad Tach. I hate to just keep buying until I get it right.<br /> I will have to get back with information later on this evening. work till 3:00.
Got the info from Tach...it is a stock no name. The numbers run from 0-8. I guessed 9000 because the red indicator goes past the 8. At the bottom of the Tach it says RPM x1000. That's all I have and I will check the stator and the throttle cable. I'll buy a Tach this weekend. I'll let you know! Thanks
