1985 Mariner 150hp
Once started the motor will run all day. When stopped, it can be a pain if possible to start again.
It will sometimes try to start for 5 seconds then die like it's not getting any fuel.
I noticed the priming bulb would not hold so I changed out the last 6' of fuel line...
Further update after more testing.
Key on did not cause a beeping alarm at first last night. After a minute or two in the on position without the motor it would start beeping (assuming just a "hey you forgot your key" alarm)
On startup I have good water flow coming out and can see oil moving in...
Merc Mariner 150V (1984 i think off the top of my head)
Oil inject but before they added the inline filter
When I turn the key to run (not yet starting the motor) I get a second long beep then a really fast beeping. At first I was thinking it was oil and I did need to prime the onboard tank...
