Hello All, new to this hope you guys can help me out. I have a 2001 challenger 2000 with the 240 EFI engine (model #S240J30YS) I have been having problems with it the last 2 years. The butterfly valves in the throttle body got corroded and one stuck in the open position causeing flames to back up into the TB warping one of the shafts. A new throttle body is over 4 grand and that is more than I payed for the boat so that's not an option. I rebuilt the Throttle body and it was runing but idled high and died when you brought the throttle up past 3500 RPM. I adjusted the screw on the lower shaft of the throttle body and now it won't even idle. No one here in Hawaii will work on the engine for some reason. Does anyone know if the NON EFI engine will fit in this boat? I know it is less powerfull but I don't need to go 50 MPH as all I use it for is wakeboarding and cruising to the sandbar. If anyone knows where I can get another engine that will fit could you let me know?? Any help will be Greatly appreciated. Also I would not suggest this boat for anyone especially if it's in salt water. If it had a simpler engine I would keep it for sure, this thing is a blast when it works.
