Good afternoon,
Just had a quick question, my boat with a 4.3 v6 alpha 1 merc cruiser has just a bit of a problem... you can start it up (starts on first try) but after about 30 seconds of idle the RPMs drop to 0. It idles right around 650-700, and no crazy vibrations or anything. Also if you give it gas and get the rpms up to 1500 or so after that 30 seconds it will cut off again. Sometimes when you start it and run it hard right out of the idle it will run fine, i can then pull the rpms back and idle with no problems. Kinda weird... im getting a timing light tonight just to verify that but any other problems any of yall know about? any info would be great. thanks.
