    Mercruiser 3.0l TKS stalling

    It's been raining so much today I took another spin to the marina to run the bilge pump. I started it again. It started well and idled fine, but as soon as I went to bump the throttle it died again just like in the video. If I move the throttle fast enough to full it will stay running but also...

    Mercruiser 3.0l TKS stalling

    Here is a video of me trying to slowly Rev up the engine. The rpm start to climb and then it just dies. I'm having trouble getting the video to load

    Mercruiser 3.0l TKS stalling

    So, I was able to get out to the boat today but had to come in when the rain started. It started as usual but ran a little rough at the start. I could hear the Hissing from the TKS module. I tried to give it a little throttle to smooth out the idle and it died. 2 or 3 cranks later it started...

    Mercruiser 3.0l TKS stalling

    So to be clear, what should I see when looking in the carb at idle and at higher rpm? A drip or a spray? For vacuum lines as well, I see a clear tube from the fuel filter to the carb, but nothing really else. My plugs are white and dry so I don't think it's running rich. Thanks again for all...

    Mercruiser 3.0l TKS stalling

    When I look into the carb there are 2 circles with holes in the middle. It drips from there. On the the flap for the throttle. I'll take a picture tomorrow.

    Mercruiser 3.0l TKS stalling

    Thanks for the info. I'll pull it off tomorrow and check. If I bench test it, can I just hook it up to a 12v car battery and then watch it expand for 8 to 10 minutes?

    Mercruiser 3.0l TKS stalling

    I checked the front 2 plugs and the looked a little lean (white on the tip) no oil or gas on them and not wet. I was by myself so hard to bump the throttle and look at the carb but I did notice when I was looking after bumping the throttle to about 2500 rpm, the the fuel was just dripping into...

    Mercruiser 3.0l TKS stalling

    I have a 2009 Bayliner 175 with 3.0l mercruiser TKS engine. I have never had an issue with it before but yesterday I took it out for the first time this year. It started and idled fine as usual. I took it up to full speed for about 5 minutes to get to our fishing spot and then cruised at idle...
