Any recommendations for a fix would be greatly appreciated. Having a problem with my 2000 135 Optimax, what's happening is the motor loses power at the 5000rpm point. It can run all day long at 4800rpm's but when I try to push it past 5000 it's almost as if it's starving itself of fuel. This doesn't happen all the time, only about 50% of the time. The overrev alarm sounds at 5800rpm's so I'm nowhere near top end when this happens. I just got it back from the shop because it was only running on 5 cylinders but it wasn't acting like this. Every time I bring it to the shop it costs me $300 and it was in there twice in September, I don't want to bring it in again.
Wasn't terrible at a state park beach. Antelope island maybe. I wouldn't recommend it as a beach destination tho. Figured I was there, I'm getting in it.
The water looked and smelled disgusting with hundreds of thousands of birds sh*tting in there. About as gross as the Salton Sea. When I duck hunted there I didn't even want to touch the water.
It's kinda gross with the algae in the summer but I got in it anyway. Wanted to see the increased bouyancy at work. You can kinda tuck yourself into a ball and you'll just float with your head above water. When dry off you look diamond encrusted with the salt.
We went to the flats too. I dipped a tire on the rental car onto it just to say I’ve been there,but it was still pretty soft from winter melt. After seeing some moron in a BMW suv get dragged out of the muck I had no intention of repeating his stupidity.
