Hi,
I have issue with my Yanmar GM10. When on idle, its all good, the problem is with running on gear. The engine is running rough and erratic, vibrates (not too much), and there is black smoke.
Water pump is new, filters and oil changed. New waterpump. All I could check I think is the elbow but that one I checked in 2022 and it was new. Although from that time engine did around 150 hours - not sure how much elbow can take?
I notice that propeller (folding) is bit fauled with weed (boat on the deep water mooring), but I would expect it to clean by itself when engine starts. Might try to clean it though.
Oh, and engine has no problem with starting...
I wonder if someone experienced something similar?
