1998 ProV 150 hp D150TLRW (Carbs) Twin Prop Yamaha on it. Its been a really awesome motor with no problems at all. Went fishing last Friday and it won't run over 1900 RPM without trying to shut down. Idles perfect. Runs perfect up to 1900 RPM. I have plenty of water pressure, Changed the plugs, They looked good and were getting oil. The screw on fuel filter is new although I have run it down to less than a gallon of gas in it. May of picked up some trash but I doubt it because the plastic 60 gallon fuel tank is brand new with its first 60 gallons of gas. Since I filled it with new gas for the second time ran it with no problems. Then I take it out this last Friday still on the second tank of gas and it won't run over 1900 RPM without going into the shutdown mode. Has anyone had this similar problem or know whats wrong with it?
More details:
Its been running great. Had it out six times this summer. It gets used mostly in the summer and some in th spring. Had the carbs worked on about three years ago. I have been cranking it every couple months since they were worked on. I have owned the motor since it was new. I have never changed the fuel pumps. It has two is that correct? Could one be bad? This last time I had it out i idled up on a reef and had to push it off. It was still dark thirty in the morning. It was breaking day so I put it up on plane and went about a mile and my hot buzzer came on. I noticed it was not peeing very good. So i pushed a toothpick up in the hole (all I had) that would fit and it started peeing good. Set there for about 30 minutes cranked it up and th buzzer was still on but the water comming out of the pee hole was cold. It would not get up on plane so I idled about 1/4 mile to the reef I wanted to fish. Stayed there for 1 1/2 hrs. drifting. Was not catching much so when about a mile to another reef and it was was not buzzing but would not run over 1900 RPM without trying to shut down when you went full throtle. Put it in reversed ad gased it hard thinking I might have some shell from that reef I got stuck on. Seem like the RPM got up pretty high, higher than 1900 when I did tat in reverse. Went forwrd and it still would not run more than 1900 RPM. Motor idled and ran good up to 1900 RPM. Took it in about 2mile run at 1800 RPM with no buzzer. Put a new set of plugs in it and it still does the same thing. No buzzer and will not run over 1900 without trying to cut back in a safe mode. Hope this helps. What do you think?
