Bought a 34 santego last summer with a pair of 7.4 mercs in it..approx 1100hrs on each, both are hard to start..lots of cranking and pumping, and in my opinion drink fuel, almost double the consumption of my old Trojan, she had a pair of 318's in her.I have already changed the plugs (right heat range ), wires,caps and rotors..cleaned the rust out of the distributors, checked the ignition timing ( both base and full advance) and that the chokes pull off ( they do) only thing left to check is the carbs.. Quadrajets on there now, was thinking of swapping them for a pair of 1410 Edelbrocks..any ideas??
