Termination Date
April 30, 1998Problem
Some 3508B, 3512B, and 3516B Marine Engines have experienced throttle software corruption. The throttle corruption may cause the engine's speed to fluctuate. The speed fluctuation is audible and can be viewed on the Electronic Technician Service Tool as a rapid rpm fluctuation when the speed burps.
This is not a fix to synchronize multiple throttles.
