Default Guess who was TOWED in today ??

Me, >:(

After the last run, I drained the tanks, new fuel, new gas filter, new plugs, all for nothing!!

Got to the ramp. Started right up!! Took off slow, motor was shaking more then normal??
After getting thur the no wake zone I hit the gas.

Right up on plain and going great!! For 3 min, then it slowed down and staled when I powered down.

After that it wouldn't even turn over??

I pulled the cover, looking at the motoir from the inside of the boat, the right head was so dam hot I couldn't even touch it!!
But the left head was luke warm??

threw anchor and started fishing right there, nothing!! >:(

so flaged a guy down and he towed me in, Nice guys!!






Well after I got home, I took the termostats out and they both seem to work fine??
I am going to change them any way.

the plugs are brand new and they look very dry and white?? No sign of oil??

read the book to see how to ck the oil pump, after trying to remove the arm that controls the oil , the bottom of the oil pump fell out?

There is a small break on the end of the oil cam. We did use oil on the way out, cause I did ck it before leaving, and when we returned it was down about 1/4 inch.

the motor now spins like it should with no problems, so I hope I did not ruin anything??

Now I have no idea what is doing this? But I am getting that parts motor tue, or wed and I will swap out the oil pump and see what happens??

I am not having a good year!!

Can any one else think of what else to try??

Think I shoulkd pull the head on the hot side to see if anything is bad??

If the head or cylinder is scorn, and I fix the oil and stuff think it will work??
