Hi everyone.
I have not used my boat since june except few trips(i am in Abu Dhabi...extremely hot in the summer)fuel quantity was less than half with the needle moving left and right. I had some issues in those occasions.The engine started ,running smooth in gear ad idle for 5 mins then died.Tried to restart...after a while same thing.Towed back to the marina...next day started smoothly ,running fine cruising at 35 mph but it was not increasing rpm (no increasing sound)with further throttle forward movement.
Today ,after one month of absence, i started the engine at the dock... flawless...it quit couple of times then i restarted..no problem...started going in forward gear at idle....ok as soon as i icreased rpm they started decreasing then increasing as ...fuel was low.... tank now is showing 1/4 flipping left and right....am i running out of fuel because the needle is not correctly indicating the quantity?Can be some water in the tank since i haven't used the boat for long time?
Or a throttle cable?Fuel filter replace as well as sparks and air filter.Sorry about my english but as you probably undeerstood i am not an english native speaker.
cheers
