I let the engines warm up like normal (about 10 minutes while untying), and then a 5 minute idle out to the channel. Then I attempted to power up on plane. Initially both engines accelerated normally. Then about about 1500-1700 RPM, the port engine started to lose power. I pulled both back to idle and out of gear.
I would describe the feeling like a gas engine that was having ignition/missing cylinder. Once put it in idle/neutral, I attempted to push the port throttle up, but same symptoms, as the engine would not accelerate past 1000 RPM and was running rough.
I was thinking fuel...but
- Racor's were just changed within a couple hours and bowls are clean. On engine filters were changed at the same time.
- No Smoke (once warmed up, a little white when first started).
I shut the engine off while I pumped the head.
On the way home I started it and put it in gear and ran it about 900 RPM. Symtoms not appearant.
This has happened 2X like this...
