Hi all,
Thought I'd tap the mass of experience here.
I bought my boat (Crownline 230BR) for cheap with an overheated engine. Engine is 5.0MPI /Bravo. So far, replaced heads, ECU, cap, rotor, and plugs. Boat had been sitting for a year or so as well. Now, it starts and runs perfect one time and won't start another. When it doesn't start, it cranks great and fires but instead of stabilizing at idle it instead immediately dies. An hour later it starts right up and runs great.
One thing I haven't done but will do next is replace the fuel water separator (anyone have a part number for that to save me a marina trip?). I had the tank drained and refilled but didn't do the separator. When the boat runs, it runs great at all power settings.
Any ideas out there?
Russ
