    2006 Mercruiser 8.1 Starts Then Immediately Dies

    Engine ran great three weeks ago. Went to go out today and the starboard engine would turn over and start as normal but immediately shut off (one second or so). Thought maybe it was my (not so) friendly Gen 3 Cool Fuel unit, so I put a gauge on the rail valve. Got 43lbs when switch turned on...

    Kohler 5e Fuel Line Bleed

    I could only find the process for bleeding fuel lines for the fuel injected version. Can someone share the best way to bleed the line for the carbureted version? Fuel tank gauge faulty, resulting in running out of gas. Has not started since.

    8.1 Horizon Engine Issue

    I am having an issue with the port engine on my '06 340. Both engines fire right up and run solid. After 30 minutes or so, the port engine drops a couple hundred RPM, then a couple more, then shuts down completely. Will turn over, but will not restart. After several hours, fires right back up...
