Hi I was having a hard time getting mercruiser 4 cylinder to start when checking fuel it is brown. I am draining will I have to flush or is draining and refuel enough?
It's probably rust. You may have water at the bottom of the tank. Drain the tank, fill it with a bit of fresh fuel and try and flush as much of the particulate out as possible. Ensure you're running a good filter or two until it clears up. If you have a F/W separator, dump it into a clear jar to see what's in there. Dump it regularly as well until you're running clear.
