Need some help here....I have a 1998 272 Baja with a Bam built 502 mtr. During our last few outings at lake Mead, the engine would hesitate or cut-out at various RPM's. I replaced the fuse located on the carb, but this did not help. After the disappointment of a 50 dollar circut breaker, I was told to check or replace the rev limiter, or coil. How the hell can you tell? Is this a elimination process?
The engine seems to have a mind of its own with regard to when and where its going piss us off and start acting up. It does not cough or stall out when you nail it, and it never completely stalls out, only hic-ups (not a back-fire through the carb). I have replaced the fuel filter and have gone through 3-4 tanks of high octane fuel. Other than what I have descibed above, the boat runs great. We may go through the whole day without incident, then wham, its starts menstrating!
If anyone has any suggestions, other than dump the Baja and get an Eliminator or Hallet, let me know.
Thanks
