I have twin 2001 250 OX66. the starboard motor is running like crap here's what it's doing, it smokes like its doing mosquito control, it wants to shake off the transom idling in gear and wont go over 1900 RPM like its in a safety mode.... here's what I've done so far with no change.........
1) I found the middle LP pump was leaking, I changed all three
2) I found the plugs fouled, replaced the plugs the new ones immediately fouled out again.
3) I have even compression, NOTE: I DID NOT DO A LEAK DOWN TEST, I don't have that equipment.......... YET
4) I changed the head gaskets, suspected minor water intrusion
5) I swapped the O2 sensors
6) Tested output from the stator same on both motors
7) 38 psi from the HP pump constant from idle to under load
8) No codes on the computer
9) Swapped the computers including coils
10) Pulled the oil pump. its dry on the back side and linkage isn't broken
11) Did the sink n link
12) Ran the motor on an external fuel tank to eliminate bad fuel
13) Had the injectors cleaned and tested
14) Checked the VST filter it is clean
15) Changed the water separator filter and on board filter
The motor did sit for about 5 months this past winter and always run REC 90 fuel.
Can anyone give me a direction to go? I had a 30 year mechanic look at it, 2 hours later he said it's one of those weird things that could be something stupid. Guy felt so bad he didn't want to charge me for the time. The cylinders seem to be flooded with oil. The summer is passing me by!! So this is my hail Mary pass..
