Post Carver 400 MY engine RPM issue


Engines: Cursader 454 XLi



This past weekend I took the family out into the bay and the stbd engine wouldnt go over 2500 RPM when I had the port at 3000. I backed the port down to 2500 and the stbd would follow it down regardless of throttle. When I throttle up the stbd it would drop 200 rpm.



No smoke or strange noises. Temps and oil pressure were normal.



I have a set of fuel filters I need to put on. And im planning on sending off the injectors for cleaning.



Any ideas?



Thanks,



Steven

My guess is that it is a straight piece that gets cut on angle to fit the slotted window section. The screen frame slides on the main frame. Thanks very much, guy

Post When and where to use 3M 4200 and 5200


Need help identifying which caulking to use on boat. I am hoping someone can give guidelines on when to use the different 3M products. Per 3M 5200 is for permanent bonding. ie bonding hull components together. To me that would be factory use. Anything I would be bonding would have to be disassembled and 4200 would be used. Do I have this right? I have been told 5200 can pull gelcoat from fiberglass base before releasing. Dan
