Engines have 400 hrs on 2002 Model 360 sundancer ...no start problems till today... cruised and anchored for a couple hours...port started right up (both engines usually start within 4 secs of cranking) but starboard fired up and quit after about 3 secs, never reached stabilized idle. Subsequent start attempts led to abnormal cranking periods with intermittent firing..
Batteries are good. Oil and coolant levels are up. New plugs 100 hrs ago.
I'm thinking a fuel problem...electric fuel pump not supplying the engine pump. Now that I suggest this, I should have trouble shot in the boat.....normally when I hit the start rocker switch, you can hear the elec pump pressurize....but in my frustration, didn't t think of this..
Any body else had this????
