Just to update my posts from last summer about unequal fuel consumption between the port and starboard engine...I'm experiencing similar issues on my 2005 rinker 360 twin 496 with bravo 3s. I am in the process of connecting my engines with cables to a jbox and a gateway to my simrad go9se. I will let you know how it works out. Please keep this post updated Thanks
The good news: It turned out to be a fouled filter in the fuel line by the pressure regulator. Now that it's been cleaned, no more black smoke. No more fuel showing up in exhaust water. Fuel consumption is now very close to equal between both engines.
The bad news: The entire exhaust manifold had to be removed to access it, then replaced when it was done. Nine hours labor for a fouled filter screen.
