The title shoud read hard to start when hot.. not cold.. ya im a tard :-0
I just picked up this 1990 170 freedom,
i put it in the water and touched the key the the motor started and purrs. when into the gas, it runs perfect. Once you slow and put the motor into idle, it will stall. then when you try to re-start it almost sounds like it is starving for fule. If I let it sit for 30+ minutes, you turn the key and it fires right up and again purrs.
the vent beside the gas cap is clear ( i blew air into it and could hear the gas bubbling in the tank.
also,
how hard is it to access the gas tank on this boat?
Thanks very much
Steve
