2016 Sun Tracker question(s)
Posted: Thu Jul 29, 2021 4:17 pm
Anyone have any experience with the Sun Trackers from 2015-ish up?
I think I have a fuel delivery issue on ours. Mercury 60 ELPT. Will not reach max RPM under load. Its been getting worse the last few trips. If I let it idle, I can quickly roll on the throttle and it will run up to 5200-ish, but it will fall off at random rates. Sometimes it falls off right away, other times it will hold on for a while, but will eventually fall off to about 4500-4800 RPM.
The fuel filter on the side of the engine seems clean.
The engine runs great otherwise.
I replaced the throttle and shift cables, but I was already having trouble with the power issues.
Aside from that, there have been no other changes.
Historically, our engine sees 5500-5600 RPM at WOT going straight no matter the load.
Thinking I'm going to pull the fuel line off and replace it this weekend. Other than that, I have no idea if there is something else in the tank that might be contributing.
