My 1997 Speedster has 130 and 140psi on my port engine and it wont rev and it starts right up cold, but after it warms up it is tough to start. When its warm I also have to really work the throttle to get it started, most of the time it fires up when its about 3/4 open.
When I start to plane, the port engine will kick in and rev up. It was worse before, but I adjusted the fuel accelerator pump, it wasn't fully depressing the plunger before. This helped a lot, but it still wont rev when I slam down the throttle in the water.
Also, the boat today would randomly cut out and when I reached for the key to pull it and put it back in, it would beep twice but BEFORE I would pull it off the post.
I also took off the engine bay cover to see if maybe it was overheating, and just started to cruise back to the dock. However, with the engine cover off the engines both seemed to be much crisper, and it was responding better to throttle at speed. I didn't try to stop and gun it with cover off since I just wanted to make it back to my truck...
What do you guys think? Does the port engine sound like its tired and needs a top end?
Thanks!
