Can yall give me some suggestions why my 3.0 Chevy is hard to start after warmed up. Cold starts are normal, warm start require throttle fully open. After starting no problems during any rpm range. :confused: <br /><br />17' Glastron Ski and Fish 3.0 Mercrusier

Sounds like a vapor lock problem in the carb to me Donkdaddy.

Did you check your choke? It could be stuck partially closed.

Hi<br />The choke is possible to adjust, what year is your engine and which carb do you have?<br />Regards<br />Affa
