Hey guys. New to boating. Picked up a 99 Sportster for the cottage.
Got a couple questions.
Left engine throttle doesn't stay in place, just drops back down to neutral. What could be the cause of this? Easy fix?
Also the left engine stalls out once left in neutral. Not sure if the engine stalling is due to the winterizing agents or not? Or due to the throttle lever dropping back. I'll be putting in fresh premium next time I go out.
I was told by the previous owner he changed spark plugs yearly on it. I haven't done this yet, is this a normal practice?
I didn't have too much time with the boat yet, 20min probably. Just wanna make sure small issues like this I fix before taking it out for long.
