I need help!
I have a 2016 DF 20A outboard tiller.
This thing has never failed me until recently..
Setting ready for summer.
I normally use the boat at least twice a month. But this time is has been sitting for about 2 months.
So I rpeleaced the fuel with new fuel before the trip out.
Everything seemed fine but when idling out of the no wake zone about 5-10 min. It started running rough, engine lite came on (no flashing) and there was a lot of tiller vibration.
We killed the engine, restarted and everything seen normal again, but again 5 min and the same symptom
Regardless we packed up and headed home.
I get the same behavior here at home. It does not matter it I'm at idle or with throttle
I have tested everything I know how to test and have done the following:
oil change,
new few filter (internal)
New fuel water separator external to engine
New fuel lines and bulb (from the 3 gal portable tank)
new connectors on tank and engine
Ran some sea foam through it.
I tried running it was the file cap loose
I don't see the bulb changin much (it does get a little softer but doesn't collapse) and have tried to pump it while it was happening but nothing it helping
The motor is still under warrently and I have an apt with the service center next month.
Besides the fact that I don't want to be down any longer.
Am I missing something stupid? Any and all thoughts are welcome,,,
