Non C&C content but relevant. My neighbour has an Ericsson 30 with a 16hp universal diesel. His engine will not rev beyond 1800 In reverse and is similarly challenged in forward. It’s dangerous as he cannot proceed faster than 2kt against wind and waves. It revs freely beyond 3000rpm in neutral. Am thinking it’s either low fuel flow (so work from pickup tube to pump to troubleshoot) or a partially blocked mixing elbow. (Re and re) Will also assist him in verifying that throttle and shutoff are fully operable at the engine and that the air intake is unrestricted. He recently replaced his fuel filters. Any other thoughts or expertise that might help? Many thanks!
