I just bought a mako 191 with a optimax 135 and it starts and idles fine but under a load it falls flat on its face and I get an alarm (it looks like a piston on a crank shaft) for a misfire. Any suggestions?
HI, Very good video(even in he High wind). Im having 'Chugging' above 4400 rpm on my 2001 Optimax 200 DFI. HAve you opened up the VST? have you made a video of it? (same as Tania Scarlett comment below.) I have done new Plugs/Fuel Filter/Impeller/Checked all coils and/ wires. Now I need to look at fuel... Injectors/VST/ Sender and cannot find a diagnostic video on how to do a 'checklist'. THis engine is new to me this year (previously an Evinrude guy for 30 yrs). It seems you have the same GEn of VST on your 225. (1999-2002?)
Dan, I have not gotten into the VST. If and when I do, I will definitely make a video! Hope your able to find what your looking for! Thanks for watching
Nice video, please show us how to change the high and low fuel pump next time please

Salty Grunt? We’re you a Marine on an amphibious assault ship? 💪🏼⚓️🇺🇸
Negative! I was an Army Infantryman that now lives a salt life!
Great video
I appreciate it!
I have this same motor can someone direct me where the carburetors are at? Are they imbehind the intake?
I struggle with that filter every year
Yea never fun
I have force 125 out board
Do it has water separator?
Yes it should.
Bought two filters and neither one would screw on past two turns. What gives?
Did it fix ur problem?
Nope lol..needed new plugs! Should’ve checked that first but it’s all good! Filter needed changing regardless
Did you have to pull it out to change the plugs or you managed??
