Hey friends,
Thought I would see if I could get some insight into an issue with my 2000 Sea Ray Sundancer 290. The last few times out I've made some longer runs than normal...about an hour or so at roughly 3500 RPM's. Engines run flawlessly. Each time I've stopped for a short while to enjoy the water and swim for an hour or so. When we're ready to fire up the engines and head back, the port engine would start but "search for idle" and then stall. After a few tries she won't start at all. About 3 or 4 hours later (or overnight if we're done for the day), she'll start once again and run perfectly. Acts "fuel starved" but the starboard engine is getting fuel and running great. Is it a fuel issue? Overheating? Vapor lock? Can anyone shed some light on this?
Much thanks in Advance!
