2006 220 Perfect Pass / engine issue ! Anyone ?

[grleblanc1]

OK, we have a 2006 220 Team loaded with 240 hours on it. The following issue was before storage and after we took it out for the summer.

Engine runs great when in neutral. Revs fine, no issues.

When motoring down the lake, or pulling a skier, it will act as if it is 'fuel starved'. This happens with the Perfect Pass (PP) engaged and with the Perfect pass off!

• Even when the Perfect Pass was off, I would push the throttle all the way down with NO effect! It was as if the PP was engaged and limiting acceleration.
• With PP engaged, it CANNOT maintain a speed. When set to 17, it would bounce between 12 and 21 mph.

Next day, no issues. Next day same issue.

We were about empty of fuel when we took it out of storage, so I added 25 gallons of fresh gas. If it was the gas, why would it work one day and why would it rev fine in neutral?

So, I am lost.

Is the PP screwed up even when it is not being used?


Any thoughts or has anyone else had this happen to them?

Thanks!

That would not be a problem with your fuel, do you have fly by wire or mechanical throttle? If mechanical, you might have a bad Cervo.

You didn't mention which motor you have - but my '06 220 w/ the ZR6 - I had similar symptoms when I very first bought it - turns out the fuel filter hadn't been replaced and was absolutely full of dirt. Replaced it (routinely now - it's amazing how much dirt they collect) and haven't had a problem since.
