So I just bought a chap 2330 and it has the 7.4 bravoIII when I water tested it it ran great and fired right up. Now when it is cold and I try to start it it takes Forever! It will kill a battery before it fires up and I noticed a can of "quick start" in one of the compartments (wish I had noticed before I bought the boat) So anyways once it is warm it runs great and fires up first try every time. The only thing I did notice is under WOT it will bog for about .05 of a sec..not even enough for most people in the boat to notice and that problem is intermittent because it didn't do it after driving the boat for about an hr. So I'm thinking fuel filter or fuel pump because I did put the quick start in (I had someone else do it as I was cranking it over) and it fired up and ran for a sec off of the quick start then died right away, which tells me it has spark.
I'm going to change the fuel filter because that should be done anyways! and after that I will possibly change the fuel pump but that is starting to get pricey if that is not the problem.
Any Ideas?
thanks
