I have two F70LA outboards. One is a 2014 on a pontoon. The other, a 2013 was installed on a 17 ft alum last year. I am just wondering about a few peculiarities I have noticed on both engines.
When shifting from forward to reverse or the opposite, I must wait about two or three seconds for the engine to reduce RPM to lowest value in neutral. If I go from one direction to another without waiting at least 3 seconds, the engine is revving about 1200-1300 rpm and a somewhat violent gearchange occurs. The wait is a bit irritating when docking, especially on a windy day.
I have never experienced this before on any of my previous 2 stroke, carbureted outboards.
Also, in gear at the lowest RPM level, there is an excessive amount of vibration or shaking which is obviously one HZ per rev. This is gone if the RPM is increased just a bit, perhaps 100RPM.
Both outboards exhibit the same characteristics.
Are there any solutions for this??
The same conditions exist on both motors.
