Hello all
This is my problem if someone could help. I have a 1988 4.3v6 185hp mercruiser.Took it out at the begining of the summer and ran fine at first then rough. After a while on the lake it would die out and start back up after i sat on the lake for 20min. Then do it again. So i took it home and changed the fuel pump. Cause it seemed like it wasnt getting gas. So i took it back out and now its worse wouldnt leave idle mode without dying out.So back home checked the fuel getting fuel. Check the spark and it is very week some plugs dont spark the ones that do are very week spark.So i changed the cap, rotor, and coil.Still not starting wants to start, back fires after cranking it a while.I know its getting gas threw the carb, wont even fire up wih starting fluid. been trying to get it started for 2 weeks burnt out the starter, replaced it.Someone suggested the ignition sensor, but i wanted to get your thoughts because its costing me on guessing.
Thanks
