I've just bought a Maxum 2700 with a KAD44 with 135 hours.
When we tried to launch yesterday, engine started fine, but then started to "hunt" at tickover, going up to about 1000 revs the back down - up, down, up down then stall. Started again fine, then would do it again and again. If you throttled up to 1000 to 1200 revs, it would seem fine and hold OK, throttle off and it would do it again.
A friend who has had this engine before says it is probably air in the fuel/filter and bleeding should cure - cost next to nothing
My Volvo dealer/engineer says it is probably the injector pump and/or injectors that may have corroded as the boat has been sat for sale for 6 months - cost £2500 !!!
Anyone heard of this before?
