Hi all,
i have a pair of df140s 2006, haven’t used the boat in a few months but start and warm up every couple of weeks.
went to use it this weekend and the port outboard had a bit of a cough splutter when it started but seemed to idle ok, maybe a little bit rough.
once in open water, boat would start to plane around 2500-2600 rpm and after 5 or so minutes start to sound like a misfire under load, but hunt up and down by about 100-200 rpm. Didn’t like trying to push past 3000rpm but I was in an 8 knot zone the entire time so didn’t try any high speed runs.
pulled plugs and all look good, have the alloy **** plug fitted and had zero corrosion around that area when I installed a year or so ago.
checked external fuel sep for water but no water.
tomorrow I’ll check the neutral start switch, as I had that fail last year on the other df140, can’t remember the symptom though.
Anyone experienced this? Best part is I have two side by side so swapping parts to fault is quite easy
