Having a few issues with my Mercruiser 4.3 TKS Thunderbolt V Alpha II (0W671692) that I could use some help with.
The boat runs fine for about 30 to 45 minutes then it stalls out on idle.
Today I noticed the Starboard Exhause Riser was very warm to the touch, almost hot, the Port Side was cool. This doesn't seem right to me.
The Engine temp runs at 160° F
When it started to stall out on idle, I noticed there was a constant and steady, drip, drip, drip, of fuel into each barrel of the carb.
In the recent tune-up and replacement of parts, the two-year-old plugs were dry carbon fouled, each cylinder spark plug was the same fouling.
*It was doing this before the tune-up.
New tune-up and maintenance parts recently replaced all were Mercruiser/QuickSilver:
Plugs (AC MR43LTS)
Plug Wires
Cap
ICM and Rotor
Oil/Fuel Pump Safety Switch
Fuel filter/Separator
Thanks in advance for any help
