Not sure about an etec, but possibly.

E-tec's are not that kind on plugs. If you spun the hub you wouldn't have a rpm probelm or get on plane. Hope its the plugs. Good luck Jayman Posted 7/22/2008 7:22 AM (#71834 - in reply to #71833) Subject: Re: Etec won't get on plane Member Posts: 1656 Go see your local E-Tec dealer, sounds like a popped powerhead.

I have the exact setup. 07 225ho620 limited. I was running a cyclone 21 and seeing 57 but running to many r's. switched to the raker 22 and seemed to slow down and lose hole shot. thanks in advance Tom22 Posted 7/22/2008 7:39 PM (#71852 - in reply to #71851) Subject: Re: Etec won't get on plane Member Posts: 94 Location: Saginaw Bay I could get 58 mph. tournament loaded 55oo rpm's ...hole shot was'nt too bad 22 raker.....Tom Rayburn36 Posted 7/23/2008 10:33 PM (#71878 - in reply to #71852) Subject: Re: Etec won't get on plane Member Posts: 8 Location: Rainy Lake Make sure the dealer checks the cylinder with the bad injector for scoring or compression loss it may have leaned out that cylinder. The next ride you take it might go pop!! happy fishing Jayman Posted 7/24/2008 7:38 AM (#71880 - in reply to #71878) Subject: Re: Etec won't get on plane Member Posts: 1656 I'd agree, #2 cylinder has been one of the main culprits to the blown E-tecs. I'm surprised you couldn't get on plane with only one cylinder down. Do you know if your mechanic did a compression check on all cylinders?
