Hey Everyone
We were out this evening floating. We started the boat up to go for a ride and it started just fine. Pushed the throttle forward and the prop engaged but no matter how far I pushed the throttle the rpms would not increase. Basically the motor would just stay at idle. I swung the throttle back and forth all the way forward and all the way back a number of times and absolutely no change.
We decided to idle back to the dock and were making way for about 10 minutes like that and then the motor died. After a few minutes of trying to restart, it eventually fired up and then worked normally and got us back to the dock. With that said I have noticed from time to time when I power it up to get on step it will loose power for a moment and then power up again, once on step and cruising I have never seen that happen.
Any ideas on what I should be looking at?
Thanks
