New here thanks for any helps So new to me it seemed like a good machine when I tested it out Got it home and ran it for few hours started to bog So I did a new fuel filter no change This only happens after a few hours. Runs fine and works well Then like u hit the switch it starts to bog down

    the very first item that comes up when I google search 2006 228 is this: https://www.boatsdata.com/2006-larson-lxi-228-15313/specs see, it makes perfect sense in context!

    So far we have checked fuel at the water separator/ cleanup great flow New fuel filter Did do cap vent check also it did seem to get a little better but not 100% What we find yesterday is if u let it sit for a couple minutes and start again it work as it should Then in a couple minutes it starts to bog again Thanks guys hope I gave u the info

    My "go to " is gonna be to drain the fuel tank and search for floating debris, like a wrapper or bag or something like that. Considering the age, you may want to replace the fuel suction lines from the tank to the lift pump. Negative pressure and fuel will cause the inside of fuel lines to degrade. You will get what are affectionately known as flappers, where the inner jacket of the hose deamination and flaps across the hose ID restricting or shutting off fuel flow. Both conditions mentioned, will magically heal themselves as the pressure on both sides equalizes. If you have the means, you could gauge restriction at lift pump inlet, if it suddenly spikes, you'll have verified the condition.

    Please share your findings. Oh, a recent discovery that had me scratching my head, check the flow check valves in the fuel water separator head. Unscrew the priming pump and verify the valves are seated. Had one that became unscrewed and would periodically flip and shut the fuel off 100% then be fine a few minutes later

    So we don’t have a fuel issue we have checked that out But after a little bit more work we find to have hydraulic pressure issue So we are going in that direction now

    Put the machine in "L" mode for lifting. The machine should operate a little slower. Let's see if that makes any difference at all.

    Here are a couple pic of the pumps

    I believe the LC is the problem ??

  12. #12funwithfuel2025-04-21 08:41

    Is that in L or P mode? What function are you using to obtain pump pressure?

  13. #13Dirtworkx2025-04-21 08:49

    That’s in P mode

    Arm in over relief?

  15. #15Dirtworkx2025-04-21 09:30

    yes something with the dipper Relief or the solenoid current is what we are looking at

  16. #16funwithfuel2025-04-21 09:55

    It's not trying to destroke because you're nowhere near your max pressure. I'm gonna PM you some lit. Gimme a bit. But before that, let's see where your main reliefs are unloading at. Do you have a large socket or piece of round stock to place between the sprocket and side frame to stop travel?

    No I don’t at the moment I am a equipment operator by trade and I am working now
