Rpm not right after storage

[Brad Dunn]

One engine is lower on rpm and one high after storage. Was not fogged. Could it just need new plugs. Fine before winter storage. One engine only hitting 6000rpm

When was the last plug change?

I would just just change plugs regardless of age, $30 for spark plugs and 20 min time is minimal. I have had NGK's fail with less then 20 hours on them.

 

[Brad Dunn]

That is my first thought. Hope it’s just plugs.

Hello Brad, Wondering what the results of your issue ended up being ? Did changing the plugs do it for you ? I'm new here, and recently bought a 2010 212X and I know on the test drive our engines had a similar issue to what you explained. Where one engine's rpm was much lower than the other. It ended up self-correcting and so not really sure what caused it, other than winter storage with no use for many months...

Brad hasn’t been around since August of 2024…

The standard thing to do with rpm issues is to first change the spark plugs, especially if the time on them is either not known or it has been a long time. The good news is that your lagging rpm issue corrected itself. Install a new set of plugs and go from there.
