Hi just wondering if anyone has done any work or upgrades to their 3.0L Mercruiser engine, mine runs well and starts 1st hit of the key when cold.
BUT when it's hot (after skiing) we let it idle for about 15 seconds before stopping engine.
When we go to start it, it takes about 4-5 seconds of winding to get it to go, it coughs and splutters and then it's fine.
Is there a fix for it, it has been tuned and had carb overhaled by a very good mechanic. He tells me it's a common problem with the 3.0L engine.
Anyone with a fix they have used and would share with me!!!!!
thanks.
