jonnyswamp Posted April 28 Posted April 28 Got a stuck wastegate which is causing some sluggish acceleration, eventually gets to top speed etc just slowly Freed it about 18 mths or so ago and its happened again The wastegate is obviously within the exhaust system and gets sooted up and sticks Do I free it and just clean it, or oil/grease it Quote

suzook12 Posted May 18 Posted May 18 Just free it and clean it, oil or grease aint gonna hang around for long. If you do lube it, do it after you've been out jonnyswamp 1 Quote
jonnyswamp Posted June 12 Author Posted June 12 Update, had it all apart and everything seems to be working on that score I think I am expecting too much in the way of acceleration I'll have to have a go in another boat like mine to compare, put my mind at rest daio web 1 Quote
suzook12 Posted June 13 Posted June 13 A boost gauge is an invaluable piece of equipment in such cases. jonnyswamp and daio web 2 Quote
