Please help!!! Mercruiser 5.7 Not starting Please help!!!
 
Hey Guys,

changed the sensor... no change. Got spark, but then again I had spark
before. :(

After cranking it for a bit, I looked into the carb and maaaaan there
is alot of gas in there..

COuld it be the carb? flooding the motor?

Funny thing, it's still dripping long after i stop cranking..

THis has been a frustrating 2 weeks and no progress what so ever... :(

Well looks like i will need a pro after all, but i will let you guys
know what it was after I figure it our so this nonesense does not
happen to you. :)

Had the guy at the marina look at it.

It took him about 2 minutes flat.

the choke was stuck/tight and couldn't operate properly.

He adjusted the carb a bit and off I went.

Feel pretty stupid, but the moral of the story is when in doubt, check
the choke thoughrouly!!

Thanks again everyone!
