Mike:
I actually hear it, and then confirm the change on the tach. On my Freedom, I can’t see the darn tach unless I bend down to look at it. (Project number 394756, Series D, is to relocate the instrument panel so you can actually see it while at the helm.)

I had the same problem with mine a couple years ago. It turned out to be a loose tachometer wire on the engine. Do you actually hear the engine speed changing, or is it just on the tach?

I have three fuel filters, the original Fram, with a 30 micron, a Racor with a 2 micron, and the Tanmar, also 2. I change them regularly but I’ll be darned if I can tell whether or not they’re actually clogged. They usually look pretty clean to me.
Just from curiosity, if a filter is clogged, why would it pass 3000 rpm worth of fuel at some times and less fuel at others?

Check your fuel filter, both the inline yanmar and the Rayco if so fitted.

My otherwise quite reliable Yanmar 2GM20F began to behave a bit oddlyon my recent cruise. Sometimes, not always, I would set the rpm for2800 and after holding that for a while it would slow down to 2500. Sometimes it would rev up again on its own; sometimes not. Once thispattern started, it seemed to continue, though the periods of up anddown varied in lenght. The rpms during this behavior generally rangedbetweem 2500 and 3000. I assume, perhaps incorrectly, that if it werea fuel problem, it would go down and stay down, or even die. Any suggestions before I call in a pro?Many thanks.Al LormanF30 Ab Initio
