I am experiencing a drop of RPM's on my port engine. If I run 3,000 - 3,200 rpm's it seems ok. This past weekend I had 8 adults and had to give it more
throttle to maintain plane. The rpm's started to drop off. Then it would surge to normal for a couple of minutes, only to drop off again. Any suggestions?
 
Water in the gas? Had this problem with one engine surging. Not sure if that was my problem however it cleared up with fresh gas and stabil.
 
I just had this same problem, same boat. Put a gauge on the fuel rail and check your pressure. Should have 38#. Mine ended up being the fuel regulator down in the cooler box.
