Just recently, my 225 Slant has been acting up a bit....

I've noticed that when at low speeds (under 25mph), the engine dosn't run at a constant speed, it kinda surges a little bit.

Also, after pulling up a driveway, backing out of a driveway, or driving real slow in a parking lot, the engine has the tendency to stall.



My thoughts were vacuum leaks or fuel pump...

Any thoughts?

Does it stall when you go uphill? if it does, try another fuel pump.

before replacing anything, you may want to give it a try advancing the dist.

are there any other symptoms I would notice for any of these problems.

Also, its hard to tell if it stalls going uphill.... I live in Manitoba

I should have asked that, I life in Holland, which is like the flattest country on earth But you could try to find a short piece of uphill road, somewhere, and just pretend driving uphill,..

I had this problem in Australia some years ago, which is less flat.

Thanks, I'll admit, there are some hills, but here in winnipeg we're in the vally, gotta drive a fair distance to see a decent hill.

I'll just find like an overpass or something to go up

oh yeah... and you'll notice in that picture, that other than the hill, its alllll flat
