I have a 4.3 and it is hard to start cold. but when it warms up it will start just fine. if you go and sit for an hour its still warm but its hard to start again. any ideas?
Recently my 4.3 will start to get hot at idle and slow speeds in the water but as soon as you take off it cool right back down. water pump? thermostat?
Ok so now i turned the key and the starter just clicks. jump across the terminal with a screwdriver and it cranks right up. which leads me to believe the silonoid is ok. took the starter out bench tested it and it worked just fine. could my ignition switch be bad for some reason?
I have a problem hooked my boat up the the muffs the first time this year and it fired right up. but the round plug that goes in the block under the motor mount popped out and water just rushes out. What can i do? is it just pressed in? Thanks!
