Bought a used 18 wellcraft with a f115 with ethanol issues. Been there, have the t-shirt.
This has me stumped.
New lower pressure pump. New High pressure pump, and all new filters. Racor, vst filter, and bowl filter. Reconditioned injectors. New line and primer bulb from the racor.
Drained tank, and flushed with clean fuel. Fuel coming out looks great. Added 20 gallons, startron and sea foam for good measures.
Took her out....won't plane. Runs like a top on the hose....idles and runs up maybe 2600-2800 fantastic. When I go to push her up on plane, she gasps.
Tried a fuel pressure test today. 38 ish at idle...holds this maybe a bit higher putting around 2000.
When the throttle is opened up, pressure drops to maybe 25. Might have gone lower but that's where I had them back off.
Pressure regulator? It does look kinda rusty, but I know that's on the outside.
I'm wondering if it's leaking, and when the injectors are not calling for much fuel, the HP pump can keep up.
Help...I'm starting to look foolish
