Idled her to death...
« on: June 30, 2006, 06:18:29 am »
Looking for ideas on why after running for twenty or so minutes at idle the boat stalls when I try and power up to pick up the pace.  Start, stall, start, stall, start throttle up, stall and so on.  Usually takes about 5 minutes before the boat will start responding again.  This has happened twice now on two separate occasions both times after idling for a while in gear (aka tooling around).

When running wakeboarders all day no problems, just acts up after long periods of idle.

Plugs look decent from my completely unprofessional opinion.  What is the charring around the threads, is this something I should be concerned with?

Taking a picture of a plug is not a particularly easy task...   :-\

Plug type is NGK IFR6T11...

You can't tell by looking at them, but I'd replace them with the Densos. That'll cure 95% of all runnability problems.
