New PII not running right….going to the shop tomorrow

[waknbass15]

Took my new PII w/ 200ProXs out tonight and it feels like its only running on 1/2 of the cylinders. I took it out teusday night as well and it did the same thing at first and then woke up. It will only get up to about 4000rpms. No clue on this one……Last edited by waknbass15 on July 22nd, 2011, 11:49 pm, edited 1 time in total.

If it only turning 4k, it needs to go to the shop for diagnosis. Curious to know what other “symptoms” it may have.

Is this the first time youve run the boat? It might be as simple as a loose plug wire.

Yeah this is my first time running it. Im hoping its just something simple. I have a smartcraft gauge which is not showing any errors.Last edited by waknbass15 on July 22nd, 2011, 1:08 am, edited 1 time in total.

Hey, dont sweat it. Its almost certianly something simple like a loose plug wire. Pull of the cowling and make sure all the wires are seated properly. I just sold my 07 P-2 and that boat was quick. The only “problem” I ever had was after getting it out of the shop, it did the same thing youre talking about. Turns out the wrench didnt snap in all the plug wires.

Could be a coil sounds like it is running on 5 cylinders. Mine has dropped 3 coils sense I got it.

It depends on the year model as coils on new engines are not common, though two years back they were more common. The shop will probably figure it out with the DDT pretty quick.

200 Pro XS shouldnt have the coil problems.

Pro XS uses different ignition coils?

It was Right before the 200 Pro XS “Sticker Mota” was released…..That 200 Opti always was reliable and strong as nails…..Your Signature …
