Hey guys my 225 Pro XS (Puma)is not turning more than 4500 rpms. It gets out of the hole great on my Puma and gets up to 4500 rpms and then bogs out and if you let off the gas and then accelerate again it will get back to 4500 and no faster. I have new plugs and the fuel is treated because it purchased at the same station. What else should I be looking for or problem shooting….thanks

Your going to have to get this to a technician and have them hook it up to diagnostics. If that doesnt work we have other suggestions. Also have you checked your fuel filter and are these original fuel lines on the engine?

Always start with the simple. ..battery and connections good? New fuel line with bulb.. I just pulled off a line that is ethanol resistant but the inside is delaminating. ..follow to fuel filter which now has bits of line in it. Make sure ur throttle is opening up all the way. Some easy things to check urself before taking to the shop

Sounds like its starving for fuel. As was said above, start simple first. Make SURE your tank selector is in its detent fully. Make sure your Prime bulb is sucking fuel and remaining full. You could also make sure your Throttle is opening all the way on the motor versus the hotfoot.Its doesnt sound like thats the issue though. Possibly the TPS.

Thanks, I replaced the fuel lines recently and the main fuel filter/seperator but dont know where the other(s) are located in relation to the carbs? Im still going to take it in and have it looked at….

Pull out all plugs and see if all look the same , may be a dead coil pack , motor will start and run perfect , but only running on 5 cylinders , easy fix and worth checking , if you find a wet plug you found the dead pack , 150$ and two bolts and viola , good luck

We are more focused on fuel supply, hoses, pump and filter.

I had a similar issue and it was caused by a seal leaking on the fuel rail
