Now that we solved my fuel gauge issue. Next brain teaser.
7.4 Quadrajet.
If boat sits for a week, have to pump the hell out of throttle while turning key.
If boat has run the previous day it starts right up next day with one pump of throttle.
Been like this since I bought. I thought all this time it was the choke but it’s not. The engine is just as cold after sitting one day as a week.
So before I get a lot of responses…
Quadrajet
Not fuel in ejection
Not Smart whatever system
Not any kind of MPI EFI whatever.
I am thinking the float bowl is draining after sitting a while and I have to do all this pumping to fill the float bowl before firing. Where as after one day it is still full.
Thoughts if this is possible and how to fix.
