Had a 05 act up this weekend. Plugs a day old , running it in a tourn about 55 mph when i felt what I can only describe as a slip then a loss of power. Now idles a lil rough and won’t get on plane. What should I check in what order to diagnose? Any help is appreciated

Wow

i would've almost instantly thought of twisted sleeves or an intake blockage. if its getting plenty of fuel no use going further there. same with spark. thats crazy those morons where so sloppy. every rebuild i do i mark each piston with a red sharpie and an arrow as the markings on the pistons are hard to see. glad you got it sorted what a pain!

Very informative. Thank you

Many thanks for sharing this unbelievable story. I am impressed by how you went through everything step by step to finally arrive at the craziness of installing the wrong piston - jeez who would think of that!!!. I have made a couple of rebuilds of Optimax and I love it. I am not trained but I guess pretty mechanically inclined. Your story tells me to take nothing for granted on older motors. Many thanks

Thanks for sharing this Very thorough diagnosis. It helps me understand the relationship of all the systems.

Amazing story!! You were very lucky you the engine wasn't damaged.

Wow, what a story! I own an ‘05 HPDI 250 which I purchased with a bad piston. Rebuilt with pistons supplied by Hydro-Tec. I am also an A&P mechanic so I maintain meticulously. I could feel your frustration before you found the piston issue. “Good find” as we say in aviation maintenance!

Thanks for sharing and taking time to find the one problem. Mystery engines can be challenging. Just when an experienced marine tech thinks they have seen everything the next lesson is on the way. I call these bush engines... Bottom line is when an engine wont perform correctly it's generally one simple malfunctioning item complicated by a plethora of misdiagnosed remedies performed by novices who attempted to cross over to perform marine service specialist operations. Generally speaking these guys are under the influence of some form of self medication in light of they are wanting to relax by spending time on water. They generally create many more malfunctions to where the boat is parked in the bushes because of wrong or incorrectly installed parts.

Great job! I think you will out a ton of hours on that motor with your knowledge. They are great motors if you understand them!

I have the same motor except its a 300. Fresh rebuild last year, destroyed a stanless prop last weekend at 5700rpm and got a wicked vibration and slight knock that comes in at 3k and stops at 3300. Still runs top notch but not sure if it's a piston or lower unit issue. Dropping off at HydroTech tomorrow. Lake of the Ozarks boat.

Is there a way to make the video smaller?

I havnt seen an a400 upland in black with gold inlay before!?

🔥🔥🔥🔥

I had a similar problem with a brand new 20 gauge. I could not get the gun off of safety. Only 5 rounds had been fired through the gun.

Honestly a lot of guns are much better than glocks.

Belleza de arma amigos

Drive out that roll pin in the slide vs taking out the firing pin in the Glock.

My m&p 2.0 compact is my second favorite grip. The first is honestly my tx22 you wouldn't think it but it fits like a glove haven't felt a grip I like better yet. That said I'd take my m&property over my tx22 any day but wish taurus would make a tx 9mm same everything besides caliber and what has to be change for the extra power

Very Cool

I have the Smith&Wesson M&P9 2.0 full size with 4.25 barrel and 17 round flush magazines. Very comfortable,durable and reliable gun. Zero malfunctions when I took it to the range.

i agree on all 10 reasons. good video.

How when there less reliable and they tell you to read the manual on side of gun I hated that always its like stop telling me what to do !

That is why I purchased mine because of made in USA 🇺🇸!

Drop both the Glock n the M&P 2.0 in the mud n let sit for 24 hours! Glock will work n the M&P 2.0 mite or mite not work!! Glock perfection is a game changer!!!!

Any recommended repairs... Is yours still doing this ..??

Couldn't agree more, hit the nail on the head. I would add that Glock is way over priced at this point. Considering that a new Glock costs around $550 then like you said you have to replace the sights additional $100 replace the plastic guide rod with steel additional $40. And I know people who replace the trigger as well, but thats not really a must so I won't count that. But still just with those 2 replacements now the cost jumps up to almost $700. So now at $700 you still have a gun thats blocky with a grip handle made for not sure for whom, but definetly not for human hands. Vs M&P at $560 basically almost perfect out of the box and far more comfortable. Its a no Brainer. But ill still run into fanatic Glock fan boys who will defend Glock with every last fiber of their being. The fear of not belonging to the best exclusive Glock cult scares them so much that one no longer requires logic, common sence, deductive reasoning, when you have blissful ignorance.

Thanks for your insight. I was on the fence on getting either the Glock or the m&p but I'm glad I got the m&p9 2.0. You made very compelling points that were important for me. I appreciate your input.

No, no, no...I choose Glock.

The only problem with the Smith and Weston is... It's not a Glock. Why choose... I got both...

I love S&W period I go S&W all day

USA made, lifetime warranty, stone reliable, great shooter, and reasonably priced.

I totally agree 👍 💯

How do you like the Orion? Looking for my first shotgun for clays. Thanks

Thanks for sharing your comments. What's a good price for this gun?

Great video !!!!

Happy to be your first subscriber! I just bought this tent so I had to search for it and see what everyone else thinks of it. Thanks for the video!
