Would a short cause reduction in power?black w/ yellow stripe is the kill wire for the ignition system.
You might find it on the top of the engine, behind flywheel.
I'll giver a whirl on saturday...ill let you know how i make out...It would cause a 100% reduction in power. Possible intermittent short.
Well couldn't find the said wire. Tried to change the fuel/water seperator but couldnt get the old one off....
Oil filter wrench or strap wrench.
Changed the fuel water seperator...went out and it ran fine....came back to the dock to pick the fam up and it started acting up again...starts fine then bogs...?
When you changed the water- sep filter, did you check it for water? Sounds like you have some water in the tank.
After it chugged again pulled it again and dumped in a container and it didnt look like water was present
If you have ethanol gas, perhaps you are saturated with water?
Do you by chance, have any gray fuel lines? They have been known to cause problems. Have you checked delivery from each fuel pump?
