I have a 2000 Trophy 2052FD with a Mercruiser 3.0. The engine serial number is L634839. I am having major issues with this motor. Sometimes she will fire right up and other times it will take a while and a lot of pumping of the throttle to fire up. When it does start she will either idle just fine or she will have a hard time staying on. IF she idles good when i go to put it in gear. It will run fine for about 20 yards and then start to fall flat on its face. I have to feather the throttle to try and keep it started. She backfires quite a bit. But it won't be long before it turns off. It will turn right back on and other times it will take me a while to get it started back up. I have done the following to it: new gas, cleaned the fuel tank out, new water/fuel separator filter, new fuel filter in fuel pump, rebut carb, new spark plugs and wires and new distributor cap and rotor.
Could it be out of time? Bad coil or pick up coil? Cracked distributor cap? Bad fuel pump.
Any help would be appreciated before i decide to get rid to this thing. On a side note. This boat sat for about 3 years.
