Engine dies.
I have a 1987 Bayliner Ciera Sunbridge. It has a 350 GM engine in it.I replaced the engine and am having trouble keeping it running. It starts just fine and runs fine for about 60 seconds and then just stops running. I turn the key and it starts right up and does the same thing. I rebuilt the carb and it is getting plenty of fuel, so it is not a fuel problem.
Any body have any idea what might be causing this? Thanks, Ray. |

Engine dies.
Sorry but I would suspect a fuel problem first :-)

Thanks, Ray. -- Bayman1 ================================== I have an '88 Ciera with the 305 GM engine, so problably close with electical. It sounds like the same problem I had a few years ago. My problem was in the 8 point cluster that connects all the wiring to the engine. I took some very fine crocus cloth and rolled it in a small tube and gently sanded all the female connections in the cluster. Then the same to the male connectors. I also changed the 2 - 50 AMP fuses on top of the engine. It started up fine and no more problem. I clean these connectors up every spring and that seems to solve the problem. Hope this helps, Norm |
