Hi all,
Looking for some guidance before I start throwing an absurd amount of $$$ into parts I really dont want to buy. Thanks in advance.
Model is J150GLERV and this problem is very intermittent. Seems like my engine is either in SAFE mode or possible shift interrupter switch. Compression test came out fine. First time it would only do this at WOT, trimmed all the way up hauling butt. Shut her down, re-started, and made it back to the ramp at about 75% throttle. Fished a whole week with no issues, then same conditions trying to make a long run WOT, trimmed up. Caught me off guard on Lake Wheeler 17 miles from the ramp and I was able to limp her home. During this mess while limping I was so frustrated at one point that I left her at WOT (still only doing 14 mph) and she tried to pick back up a time of two. After starting to pick back up, it ran like a champ for about 2-3 min before slowly dropping in RPM's back to a crawl. No alarms, plenty of water spitting out of the pee tube, and all the primer key pushes in the world made zero difference. Timing roller is in the right spot and seems to be doing what it should.
I do know I probably do need to rebuild carbs/replace bowls due to having to hit the primer to get her to plane when warm and load on a trailer ever since I bought the boat about 6 months ago. May be related, may not be.
Does anyone know what the resistance should be on the interrupter switch when open and closed?
Any suggestions on what else to test?
