I recently bought this boat for a good deal, I had the motor out and cant get it to idle. It runs well at high speeds but but won't idle.
I have cleaned the carbs 3 times and replaced the fuel pump, put new gas lines thinking that it was all carb problems.
I took it to a friend that knows more about mercs than I do. He also took the carbs apart to make sure I hadn't missed anything. He called to tell me he thinks it's an electrical fault. 2 cyls break down at low speeds but kick in at higher revs. He has no electrical instruments to check it with.
Any help as what to what to check first would be appreciated, or do I break down and take it to a shop.
