I have a Volvo Penta 5.7 Gi engine (TBI) with duoprop outdrive.
Boat sat in drystack for some years before I bought, but has had some work done to get it running again. Boat is in excellent shape.
When in idle, will have an occasional stutter. Upon acceleration, engine will bog down and die but not every time. Usually after one maybe two restarts, it takes off like it's brand new. Also occasionally I am at about 3700rpm and can feel it's not at full power and suddenly will have full power again. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Having said that here is a list of work/parts done so far:
-New water/fuel separator
-Drained all fuel and filled with new
-Oil/filter change
-New high and low pressure fuel pumps
-New Injectors (x2)
-Rebuilt float in reservoir and new seal
-Thorough cleaning on flame arrestor
-New cap and rotor
-New spark plugs
*Have run multiple tanks of fuel and changed fuel filter twice.
