I replaced the cap and rotor on my searay over the winter and first time out on the lake it seems to idle fine, but when I added throttle after the engine is plenty warm it bogs and coughs a little, feathering in the throttle it takes off and seems to run fine. when I shut is off and try and restart, it doesn't want to, engine turns over, it just doesn't want to catch, for the most part this boat has always started reliably (though little harder when warm) if eventually starts but not easily, I also notice that the idle is pretty low, I started wondering if I should have checked/reset the timing? though really I shouldn't have to right? while researching on internet is seems that there were a number of bad distributor caps produced by mercruiser as well as sierra in 2011. any experiences like that? this cap set is from napa which I assume is sierra. my other thought is the carb might need another rebuild? and the problem has surfaced over the winter, its been 6 years I think, though the boat has not had a lot of hours in that time, maybe 60-70 in total if that matters.
thanks for any help guys
