Hey All:
Well my new 2008 engine is giving me grief, well it could be the engine.
Its a 40-hp 4st merc. When I say its brand new its a 2008 model put on this year. Now made in china but I don't think its the cause
Basically when I go too WOT I stall out, not enough too stop the engine but it sputters then when I go back too mid range it works fine. I can go all the way upto WOT for a few seconds then putters. Its not bad fuel as I thought it might be too and replaced it with all fresh fuel.
I think it has something too do with the fuel running out. Where in the chain that occurs is my issue.
AND THE UPDATE ****
I changed and cleared everthing I could think off.. Again Fresh fuel, Cleared all the lines with an Air Hose, Cleared the intake screen.. Everthing I could think of.
Still no fix.. Of to Bass Pro where I purchased et.. $200.00 later I am told it was gas filters apparently there are 2 and they needed changing. After only running for say 60 hours ok., I give maybe bad fuel something got in there.. So I pay the cash and walk out happy the boat is fixed.
Prior to going out again, I empty all the gas vacume out the tank, clear all the screens with air, do it all again just too make sure.
First try out Same thing, Here is a video what its doing
The Engine will run at WOT if I take my time getting there and I mean really taking my time run at full for a bit then slowly and I mean slowly click the trim until I am up too full speed...
Please help!! Really makes me want my 25Hp back
