just got a reply for boat works ask the tech
It sounds like you are having a fuel problem like many others now with the
new ethanol mix. 87 Octane should be fine. You don't want to run the high
grades in the engine because they have cleaners that will remove the oil
needed for lubrication on the cylinder walls. More than likely, you will
have to have a carb job done to correct the problem. You also should be
running an external high quality fuel/water separator along with fuel
conditioner year round. If there is anything we can help you with, please
let us know. Thanks
if it runs crappy tomorrow i guess its time for a rebuild |
