It's been raining so much today I took another spin to the marina to run the bilge pump. I started it again. It started well and idled fine, but as soon as I went to bump the throttle it died again just like in the video. If I move the throttle fast enough to full it will stay running but also...
So, I was able to get out to the boat today but had to come in when the rain started. It started as usual but ran a little rough at the start. I could hear the Hissing from the TKS module. I tried to give it a little throttle to smooth out the idle and it died. 2 or 3 cranks later it started...

For vacuum lines as well, I see a clear tube from the fuel filter to the carb, but nothing really else. My plugs are white and dry so I don't think it's running rich.
Thanks again for all...
When I look into the carb there are 2 circles with holes in the middle. It drips from there. On the the flap for the throttle. I'll take a picture tomorrow.

I have a 2009 Bayliner 175 with 3.0l mercruiser TKS engine. I have never had an issue with it before but yesterday I took it out for the first time this year. It started and idled fine as usual. I took it up to full speed for about 5 minutes to get to our fishing spot and then cruised at idle...
