    Hot start issue

    Got it. Would my fuel lines being metal have a positive or negative impact on this ?

    Hot start issue

    Fuel lines seem fine. The carb was dry and even pumping the throttle was not putting any fuel into the carb. Maybe vapor lock is my issue then ...just hard to imagine a vapor lock issue when there is an electric fuel pump

    Hot start issue

    Yeah I follow the bilge instructions as far as letting the fan run before starting, etc, but I suppose the extra ventilation can’t hurt

    Hot start issue

    Normally don’t. Still doesn’t explain to me why the carb is bone dry

    Hot start issue

    The fuel pump is electric. But even with the fuel pump running manually, the carb is still dry. My plan is to disassemble and clean the carb but not sure that will fix it for certain

    Hot start issue

    It’s crazy to me to think that this is a needed modification... why would my carb be dry after cranking during hot start though ?

    Hot start issue

    Based on what I see, it does look like there is fuel dripping in the carb after it shuts off when it is hot. Is the spacer the only solution ? Also, where could I find one

    Hot start issue

    Mercruiser 4.3l 2 barrel carb. Starts fine and runs effortlessly. After short stops (30 minutes or so), the boat will either start and stall shortly after, or not start at all. Taking the flame arrestor off shows the carb is almost dry. Fuel pump is running and confirmed it is pumping fuel to...

    195 Sport Cover

    Got it. I actually had a nice chat with Kevin from Cove Marine yesterday. He was very helpful and I think we determined that the snap cover would be best for my boat given the tower

    195 Sport Cover

    I mentioned the tower when I asked for the quote and based on some photos I saw of the Great Lakes Mooring cover on some ski/wake boats, it looks like the cover wraps around the base of the tower. I am waiting on a response to see if the cover Would in fact be compatible with the tower.

    195 Sport Cover

    I am preparing to make a final decision on a cover. I am leaning towards a mooring cover from Great Lakes Boat Top (~$600) over a snap canvas from a nearby marina ($1200+). My question is, how many of you have any experience with Great Lakes ? They seem very reputable and well liked. I am mainly...

    4.3l starter

    I’m assuming the dealer should be able to let me purchase a new starter and then Receive a refund if the bad was was in fact deemed defective. If not, I might as well just order a new one now.

    4.3l starter

    Also, is it true what I was told in reference to the warranty ? The item would have to go somewhere to be deemed ineffective ? That seems inconvenient but I suppose I understand it

    4.3l starter

    Teeth look fine. Doesn’t look like there are any missing or chipped. There was soMe shavings when I pulled the starter out, but not sure where they came from, and there really wasn’t much at all

    4.3l starter

    From looking at parts diagrams, I don’t see any shims. And given that the old starter didn’t have any, I’m assuming none are needed. Just seems disappointing that a brand new starter would quit after only ~100 or so starts

    4.3l starter

    How do I confirm spacing? The one I replaced did NOT have shims

    4.3l starter

    I replaced a bad starter in my 1995 4.3l mercruiser engine last September. I’d say with less than 100 starts since then, the replacement starter, a quicksilver/mercury genuine part (863007A1) failed me twice, leaving me stranded. It happened once (starter just seemed to be spinning and not...

    Propeller chink : ok or replace?

    For the cost of a replacement blade, I would say yes, replace it. they are easy to install as long as you have the proper tool to get to the nut. When you put the new one on, keep the old one. a similar thing happened to me last year. I bought a new one and now keep the dinged up one on the...
