"My friend has a 1997 80'
"My friend has a 1997 80' Summerset houseboat w/ twin 5.7L Mercrusers (2 bbl. carbs). On occasions the starboard engine unpredictably will race at full throttle. He shuts the engine down and then restarts it and it runs fine. This boat has a helm topside but no one has been up there when this has happened and he says it is pretty scary when it does happen. We tried to get it to do it yesterday to no avail (naturally, not when you're looking). He says the throttle will not respond. Any ideas what could cause this?
Thanks in advance."
