"1991 Merc 5.0's 2 bbl car
"1991 Merc 5.0's 2 bbl carbs, mechanical fuel pumps.
Cold starting is perfect. Starters engage for a second after pumping throttles twice. Engines fire right up.
After some running, shut them down. To restart, must push throttles full open and crank for at least 10 seconds to get restarted. Good smell of gas as well.
Carbs were recently rebuilt, but had this issue prior to that. New to me boat.
Thoughts?
Thanks to all"
