Hi i have a 7.4 That is hard to start at times, here is what happens. When it starts it runs and idels fine.
If i start it aprox. 1-3 days apart it starts and runs OK, after waiting over 4 days (aprox) it starts getting harder and i have to pump the trottle repeatatly. The longer i wait between starts the harder it gets.
1993 290 Dancer 7.4 454 Gen V Brovo 2 OD839053 Quadrojet The choke is not electric.
The Carb has never been rebuilt, i am the second owner and my marina has maintained this boat since it was new.
Does anyone think it would be a good idea to get the Carb rebuilt while the boat is layed up for the winter. All of the ignition parts have been replaced, the fuel seperator is replaced every fall and the fuel pump was rebuilt last season.
Thanks Mike
