    1997 4.3 Mercruiser engine barely cranks over.

    My 1997 Stingray with a 4.3 Mercruiser will barely crank over now. Was running and cranking fine and all of a sudden the engine will barely turn over. This occured after a 30 minute wide open throttle ride. The engine all of a sudden started slowing down and finally stopped. It will barely crank...

    60HP mercury outboard hesitation when trying WOT

    Hello All, I have a 1995 60 HP Mercury Tracker outboard that very often hesitates/bogs down/ won't take the gas when trying to go to Wide Open Throttle. It cranks great and will idle all day long with no problems. Also, the problem seems to be intermittent with it occuring more after it has run...
