Well I finally picked up the boat this past Tuesday. It cost almost
$500. They replaced the plugs on the Force 70 engine, they de-carbed the carburators, replaced the fuel filter and ran diagnostics on the engine. If they made any adjustments, I was not informed. I told them that I would launch it on Saturday and if I had any problems I would call them. I launched it. Ran great...until it was time to come home. I was turning 1300 rpm for about three minutes (in a no wake zone) when it stalled. I turned off the ignition and tried starting. It just turned over. I pumped the bulb three times and tried again. It started. I pushed the rpm to 2200. It ran fine for about three minutes and stalled again. I pumped the bulb three more times and it started. I then pushed the rpm to 3800 and drove the boat back to the launch. On my way home I dropped the boat off at the repair place and informed them of the procedures I followed while on the lake. Any suggestions? 89 octane mixed 50:1. |
