Hi All,
Last year my IAC failed and I replaced it with a new one. Prior to it failing the motor became hard to start and I had to give it some throttle to start it. I thought the IAC was to blame but after replacing it the motor is still hard to start. I had the boat in for lower unit lube change and asked the mechanic to check my temperature gauge as it reads around 200° when running. Anyway, he said the IAC is stuck wide open and he doesn't know why. I was wondering if any of you have had this experience and know what might be causing it. Also, can the temp gauge be calibrated? It's running 40° higher than the actual temperature. I borrowed his laser temp gun and verified the T-stat housing was running at 160°.
Thanks,
Quin
