Mercury 250 Pro XS 4 stroke surging - 10/24/22 07:50 PM
I have just turned 100 hours on my 2020, 250 Pro XS 4 stroke. This past Saturday as I was cruising across the water my engine started surging. I could slow down and it would still surge on me. This has never happened before.
My first guess is I have water in the fuel? I have always used Sea Foam in my tank
My second guess is one of my spark plugs has fouled? I'm sure spark plugs last more than 100 hours?
My third guess ...well I do not have a third guess.
I called my local BPS to have them do a 100 hour service and check on the engine, they guy there said that it would cost between $600 to $900 for the 100 hour service and the engine would most likely fall under warranty unless it was something like a spark plug of fuel filter.
Any of you all had this problem and what was the fix?
