Good afternoon Donzi.net
My 2004 18' Classic with a 6.2 will not idle. It happened last week and here is how the story goes. I was putting through a few canals last week and I though it was running a touch rough, I could smell the exhaust, and it is always so perfect. When I was leaving the canal, the warning "beeper" went off, I checked all the gauges (perfect) and looked under the hatch to check for belts, hoses, water and such - all was perfect. I was nursing is back to the docks when it just quit. It took a couple times to start it and when it did I had to go 1500-2000 rpm to keep it running. Running really rough.
I thought it may be just out of gas, but the gauge reads true, or at least it has, when it is on the trailer, and leaves me with 1/4 to 1/3 tank. I was able to run it in reverse without it stalling as well. I do not know where the pickup in the tank is. I doubt I'm this stupid, but I'll be filling it up when I have the chance and trying it again, but on the trailer in the water.
Any ideas or has anyone else had this sort of problem. :confused:
Thanks again, Dodman
