Hello all,
Looking for a motor detective here. I have twin 350 Mercruisers from the year 2000. They are the MPI motors.
The starboard motor has the following symptoms:
-half the time I go to start it, it needs throttle to start - then rev it a few times and it is good to go all day, even if I stop and start it occasionally.
-even if it does start the first time, it sputters to get up to idle
-it runs about 148 degrees, while the other motor does about 160
-oil pressure is slightly lower than the other motor.
Here is what I have done so far:
-June 2020 - full tune up, including plugs, oil, etc.
-July 2020 - all new fuel injectors, thinking that was the problem
No change.
Any ideas?
THANKS!!
