alright guys and girls,
I am in need of some help, a week ago I went out and my motor (2007 F115TLR with 450 hours) was acting like it was starving for fuel and would not go above 3600 rpm, then it would do short burst of full fuel and take off then slowly putter down again. I changed the fuel filter, and noticed this substance on it, took the boat out two days ago and worked amazing for the first 10 miles, then the puttering started again for about 2 miles and then just before the boat ramp it worked perfectly fine. Checked the fuel filter its still brand new, changed the water separator (nothing found in the water sep but fuel) and i also noticed my primer blub inner linning was withering away so I am going to replace that as well!
The boat I have owned for about 4 years and it sits for 60 days and then is in use for 60 days, during every "sit" cycle I top the boat off with fresh fuel (non-E) I will be honest 2 years ago i put about 8 gallons of ethanol gas inside the tank (which to my understanding should not be the problem)
Any thing else you guys would check prior to doing another sea trail
