Try putting in a fuel pressure gauge inline up near the carb. Watch it at the point of cut-out. Start there and work your way back to the fuel pump and finally the supply line from the tank. Sounds like the anti-siphon valve in the supply line. Or.... heres an new thought....vacuum
Does anyone know where I can buy / get made a smaller cockpit table for the back deck? I have the original table that came with my SR 390 Express. The thing is always in the way on the back deck. It is large with a big "klunky" base that's a pain to move on the carpeting. The better half insists...
I have a 1989 SR 390 with 1240 hrs on the 7.4's. Change the oil and keep them tuned. They'll last a while. My Bluewater motors have run in only freash water and show no signs of going south! The compression test I did on the last tune-up showed all cylinders at or near factory spec's. Don't...

Thanks for signature suggestion... I'm new at this!
Last visit to Confederation Basin, the wind was around 25+ all weekend. A sailboat came loose from it's mooring out in the basin and ran into the first row of boats before they could get a line on it!

Hey.. thanks for the reply. My motor is a standard rotation ( CCW) 7.4 I also had that thought, but I did check the bendix gear and it was correct with the old starter. Could this problem come from low batteries from winter storage? I did have them charging while trying.
:smt013 I have 1989 SR 390EC. I put a new starter on the port motor. On the first try to start the starter solenoid burned up!! Not sure why yet. Maybe a faulty solenoid?? Any clues?
