    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...

    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...

    Wiring

    I am looking for some help with an unidentified wire coming out near my thermostat. There is a wire that plugs into the thermostat which is brown and then there is one that is brown/blue that is not plugged into anything. On the back side of the engine, there is a brown/blue wire plugged in near...
