Hi,
I have a 1985 Searay Seville with a 170HP Mercury 4-cyl Engine. The engine runs great, but lately, after it warms up and has been running for a while, it won't idle any longer. At one point this weekend, I couldn't get it to run long enough to get it into gear and get it back on the trailer. When I get it home after it has cooled down it runs fine in the driveway. Any thoughts?
There is a possibility that I have moisture in the gas due to it sat for a couple of years and this is the first partial tank full of gas. I will put dry gas in it and fill it up with a new tank of gas, but just wondered if anyone has seen a problem like this? It seems to be related to heating up.
