The port Merc 260 (350 c.i. GM) runs like a top. The starboard engine runs great as well, but if I tap the gauge panel it stalls.
I know ... don't tap! It's an '87, so the gauges stick and need a little nudging to get them to display accurately. I'm also concerned that hitting a wave will stall it.
All of the wiring is tight; connections have been cleaned. The port engine has no problems. This happens only on the lower helm, and regardless whether or not the key is on at the flybridge helm.
It's got me stumped.
