I've been trying to figure out why my motor is having a hard time recently getting up to 2000RPM when in gear. This is a new problem.
I've posted about it in several other threads and already tried some things, but I'm still looking for advice.
It will go from idle to 3000RPM in neutral. I cannot get it over 1900RPM in gear right now.
Things I've tried:
Checked shaft/prop - it's really clear. It turns by hand very easy.
Removed air filter
Changed all fuel and oil filters
Added injector cleaner
Replaced entire exhaust riser/elbow
So far, nothing has changed its behavior.
I am not a mechanic, so please be patient with me.
My thinking is to check fuel system parts next? Anybody got tips on checking the fuel pump? Should I swap the strainer filter in it? I haven't checked it yet. I just read about that it has a strainer.
