Hard starting '93 Merc 4.3 I/O
I have a little trouble starting my 1993 Merc 4.3 motor. It usually
cranks a bit (sometimes longer than others) then starts but dies out at
idle. I perform this ritual a few times and then it idles ok. Once it
warms up it runs great. It seems that the more often I run the boat the
better chance of starting it without problems. I dont expect this boat to
start like a boat with fuel injection but there must be some solution to
this. Is the motor just getting old as far as rings, compression etc?
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
