Shanew Posted July 2, 2011 Report Share Posted July 2, 2011 Had to abort a trip today due to engine kept stopping on selecting gear. On tick over was fine and also running up with flush muffs was fine. Seems to be underload have problem. boat was in water rods ready all set to go. Was sailing out of fambridge north. Hope get sorted for open. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coddy Posted July 2, 2011 Report Share Posted July 2, 2011 Hi Suggest you strip down carbs & filters and cleean. Sounds like the main jet could be (part) blocked as when load is applied it requires more fuel to run and if it can't get enough it will stop. Depends how long it has been sitting since last usage. Hope it helps Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coddy Posted July 3, 2011 Report Share Posted July 3, 2011 Hi Shanew I know Priory Marina well as I use to live at Sandy! That is a long way to tow your boat, I used to go to Felixstowe Ferry or Langstone and launch. still 100 mls+ however. Hope you get things sorted out ok.

Rob Posted July 3, 2011 Report Share Posted July 3, 2011 Does it go in to gear without stalling with muffs on (be careful!!). I believe a member had a similar issue when the stat was open or non existent!!!! Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
