Catalina 30 Bay Shore, N.Y.
I was traveling off shore today and the engine started surging, it wood run normal then rev up then go back to normal.....then when I made it to New London it then wouldn't idle.....rev up to 1500 rpm.....figured out if I pull the fuel stop half way it would idle, last year the same thing happen and I bled the system and all was well (air trapped in pump?)
Tried bleeding the system and no good its still racing, I read in the sevice manual about the fuel governer on the injector pump and its fuction and it seems like my problem lies there but repairing the pump quickly seems far fetched
I thought last year the injector pump was going so I got found one on EBayand it showed up in mint condition, just hoping the marina mechanic will swapped it out cause that seems like the quick and easy way to get me home......anyone ever experence simular symtoms
