Members basscatfan Posted March 13, 2020 Author Members Posted March 13, 2020 Roughly 600 on boat and 30 on new powerhead.

fishinwrench Posted March 13, 2020 Posted March 13, 2020 4 hours ago, basscatfan said: Fuel injectors. I don't think so. The 250xs doesn't receive cylinder lubrication through the fuel injectors. A bad fuel injector won't score a cylinder or cause detonation.....it will just run like crap and possibly oil foul a spark plug. So if all they did was replace the powerhead and put in fresh injectors...... She's going to blow again, and warranty is not gonna cover it. Not trying to bum you out, but you spent 4k+ and deserve to know the truth.
Members basscatfan Posted March 14, 2020 Author Members Posted March 14, 2020 So here's the whole story. I blew the powerhead in march of '19, had a new head put on and at their recommendation had the air injectors rebuilt, new water impeller, lower unit gear oil and new plugs. Put the boat in the water and about the 2nd hr into the break in period it dropped number six cylinder. Sent that powerhead back in they said it was a fuel issue. Sent in the fuel injectors and a couple of them showed faulty on the print out. They rebuilt them and said all was good. ( I wish I would have had that done the first time ) they sold me another powerhead at a very reduced rate. Put it on and have been fishing it for the last year with zero problems.
Members basscatfan Posted March 14, 2020 Author Members Posted March 14, 2020 It came with one year warranty and I bought a second year for about $400. That's why it has one more year remaining.
