Carver 400 MY engine RPM issue
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

Re: Carver 400 MY engine RPM issue
Ill pull that filter apart this evening. I have a set of those pricy TB filters. They just need to be installed.
One thing worth mentioning is that engine RPM seems to get lower and lower every time I take it out. Junk in the filter would make sense.
Thanks,
Steven

This was a Crusader thing. Can't remember the recommended service interval off hand but I check them whenever I preform fuel service on a Crusader that has them. I find if they have never been serviced, they can get so bad that I don't even bother cleaning them and replace instead. After that, if serviced regularly, a cleaning is all they need. Crusader recommends they be checked within several hours run time when the vessel is new as it's likely to trap debris from a new tank/vessel build. But I suspect that's rarely done from what I've seen, which is unfortunate as it's the first line of defense in the system if memory serves me correctly.
