    1995 Merc 175 EFI good product or not?

    I have found a 1995 Mercury 175 EFI that has been rebuilt by a certified tech. From all I know of this guy he is very good. I just want to know if I should have any concerns about the dependability of this model motor. I have never had any dealings with a EFI engine always ran a 150 with carbs.

    Changing my post title. I know the same questions over and over get old. I removed the stabilization module and set WOT Timing at 23 BTDC. My Selco book says my primary timing should be 11 ATDC. Is that correct? I'm having problems with cool to cold starting and engine loading at idle.

    84 V150 hard start and loading at idle

    Some of you have helped me through my first rebuild. The rebuild is done and I have finished with the break in.
