Hi Everyone,
Sorry if this issue has been discussed before but have not been able to find anything.
Ive been on the water twice in the last two weeks and have an issue with the DF200.
Start the motor on the ramp and power up to planing speed and all is good. After an hour of travel at about 4000rpm I slow to idle and start trolling (approx 1000rpm). After 30 minutes decided to stop trolling and try to accelerate to full planning speed. I noticed the engine will not rev even with throttle wide open. By this I mean it tries to get onto the plane but hasn’t got the power. Engine seems to be firing ok but seems to be restricted. Returned throttle to neutral. Tried again but issue still there. Tried a third time but again as before but this time the engine shuts down when I bring the throttle back to neutral. Switch the ignition off and restart the engine. It fires up immediately. I again attempt to accelerate and this time it has full power and does not fault. One week later and the same happens again. No major fault codes accept an ‘abnormal shutdown’ and an ‘low voltage’ warning on the Garmin gmi10.
Can anyone offer any advice, would the sds software pickup any other errors of what happened?
Possible white wire or power issues? Have checked fuel and all good. Engine does not miss a beat when it is at WOT or accelerating after it’s been off for a while only when I return to idle for an extended period of time and then try to accelerate. Cheers for any advice.
