I have a 1995, 200hp, Mercury EFI that is having intermittent starting problems. The last two times it started normally in the morning, we ran to our fishing spot, fished for 2 hours, and then it would not start. On the last trip it finally did start after about 5 hours after the original run. It took 3 tries cranking it over and on the third try it took some time to get going, but it did. We let it warm up good, then ran around the lake about 3 times getting up to full throttle several times. After trailering it, we turned it off, sat for a minute, and fired it right back up (motor was in water still) with no problem. It has been recently serviced (new plugs also) and runs very good at all speeds (no loss of power or irregularities). The battery was checked and is good and the exhaust around the prop is not sooty. We have only run 89 octane from Chevron in it and use stabil and have just started using quickleen too.
Any thoughts?
Thanks
