Hello new here...
2004 bayliner 185 w/3.0L
I bought this boat last summer with super low hours and had never seen salt water. It ran all last summer perfect. Winterized it by running antifreeze through and fogged the motor and sta-bil'd the gas (ethanol). So went to start it up...starts every time no problem but WILL NOT IDLE...i have run it about 10 times or so for a total of about 40 minutes i guess, in and out of water with plenty of warm up time...things i HAVE noticed exhaust alittle smokey'er than normal (black) and the exhuast water had a slight translucient milky-ness to it (no froth or emulsion)..it does tend to run rougher than it should but stays running as long as i keep some rpm's in it....i do plan on complete tune up, plugs, wires, cap/rotor and mabey carb rebulid...other than that are there any sugestions????? thanks in advance Moose
