"Hi all,
I have a crazy pro
"Hi all,
I have a crazy problem. I have a 165 mercruiser, and each time I put it in the water, it suddenly is hard to start. I can eventually get it going, but the idle is rough and it wants to die on me. By playing around I can get it moving and run it for a while. When I slow down, it usually stalls, and then it's very hard to start. What makes this insane is that when I attach a hose to it in my drive, it'll fire right up with no problem and run fine. I do hear a "sucking" air noise when I push the throttle forward. I've rebuilt the carb, changed points and plugs, impeller, new ignition, new fuel filter. I just can't figure out why it runs so rough when it's in the water. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated!!"
