Stock 7.4l carb mercruiser gen5
The port engine will start, idle and run fine in gear at various RPM's for 5 minutes, 15 minutes, whatever, runs normal then suddenly dies when being returned to idle and usually will not restart and run correctly. End up idling in on one engine twice this past weekend.
Back at the marina from cold the same port engine will start and die, won't idle or hold rpm if accelerated, never gets started correctly. But then suddenly it starts and run correctly. Very intermittent, thinking electrical and not knowing where to start. Plugs look good and is getting fuel.
Suggestions ?
Thanks, ed
