Hello Fellow Boaters......
Last weekend when I throttled up to bring the boat on plane she fell flat on her face......I backed off and slowly worked her on plane but, there was no power.....after a few minutes of running she kicked in and went back to her same ol running great self.....
Today, we made a 20 mile run and she ran great. I stopped and got fuel, idled around for 20 minutes or so and when I tried to take off the same thing happened. Except, this time she never kicked in.
She appears not to be running on all cylinders but, Idles fine, starts fine....
I checked spark all good, but have not changed plugs.
There is heavy black oil from the exaust, somthing I had not seen before.
I also noticed excessive fuel consumption.
There is some fuel in the engine pan but, no LEAKS.
Could be fouled plugs but, would that explain the fuel in the pan and evidence of oil.
Before I dig into the gamet of tests I was hoping someone may have experienced this.......Any suggestions?
