hello again just when i thought i was over the hill, ok i will try to keep it short, 1989 merc 5.7L rochester four barrel.<br /><br />i rebuilt the carb in the winter i did not get to try it antil last month.<br /><br />when i crank the engin over it flood the carb like a pipe ****, ok i wait about 45 min before restart the timing was way off so i pull the distributor an put it back in, now i crank again and she start up, went out fishing first day no prob, next day i stop to get gas before i could put in the gas i try to restart, it just crank and crank for about 10 min, then it start.<br />after that it run like a hare but when i stop to fish and try to restart sometime it crank crank before it catch. today i put in some gas, try to put a new coil but the new coil was doing nothing so i put back the old one when it start it throttle fine but when i try to give it gas it start back fire now the tac meter is all over the place but the engine idle fine no shaking, what is wrong do i need a new coil or should i return the carb to the rebuilder guy??? i know this is long but i try to put all the simptom in thanks.
