94 5.0, carbed, SN OF157289
Starts pretty good cold, a couple pumps of the throttle and it usually fires right up.
Once warm the exhaust smells of gas and it takes several (3-4) seconds of cranking to fire up and, even then, I have to listen closely to hear it catch. If I give it some throttle it fires much more quickly and decisively.
Last tank full I ran some fuel system cleaner thru it and there MAY be some slight improvement in warm starting bu it may also be wishful thinking. Idle speed by the boat tach is 700-800rpm.
Engine runs great otherwise.
Been doibg some reading and the only adjustments I'm seeing are idle speed, idle mixture and choke. And float adjustment inside the carb but I don't appear to be experiencing flooding or starving issues.
So, any suggestions on where to start to get rid of the odor and improve warm start?
