Would it fail intermittently? Once I get it running again its fine for the next several outings. Its happened once at the end of last season, once about a month ago and once yesterday.
Good morning.
I have a 2003 Crestliner with a 4.3 mercruiser. The motor is carbureted, not fuel injected. Three times now, my engine quit on me while driving. The first two times it happened while slowly cruising down the river, low rpm's. Yesterday it happened while pulling a tube, higher...
