Ok, this is driving me nuts. I have a 97 330 Sundancer with twin I/O's powered by Merc Cruiser 7.4 Big blocks with 4 barrel carbs.
The port enging was rebuilt two years ago and only has around 20 hours.
Here is the problem. I will be cruising at 3100 rpm's and all of a sudden the port engine goes from 3100 to 1000 rpm's for a split second and then comes back up to 3100.
Also if at the dock in neutral it will go fro 1000 rpm to around 500 and then back up all for a split second.
Once it actually staled at idle.
I was told it could be the low oil sensor or water in the tank or a bad battery etc,
any ideas on where to start?
