    5.7 Mercruiser Dies on Idle

    There are a lot of possibilities when it is starving at idle. I was thinking a carb issue but am open to troubleshooting other options as well.

    5.7 Mercruiser Dies on Idle

    I was thinking a carb issue as I did order a rebuild kit. I will be able to rebuild this weekend. Hopefully that is the solution.

    5.7 Mercruiser Dies on Idle

    I didn't even think about the shift interrupt. How would I go about checking this switch?

    5.7 Mercruiser Dies on Idle

    I have a 1997 Maxum 2000srl with a 5.7 Thunderbolt Mercruiser. It is carbed with a Rochester 2bbl Mercarb. I am having an issue with keeping the motor going at idle. I put the throttle into neutral like I always do to start it and it will run for about 30 seconds then die. I can give it some gas...

At about half throttle, it will sputter like it wants to go, but bogs down. Increasing the throttle further will cause it...
