Any tips or tricks appreciated with replacing the lower bushing in bravo II gimble ring. I can’t find any info except they make a specialty tool for it. I’m new to installing this type of bushing. Don’t want to destroy it driving or pressing it in like a normal bushing.
Thanks for the advice. I was just looking at the IAC motor. I’m familiar with the IAC valve on the MPI engine and I know when that goes out, the engine will not idle at all. Mine idles fine once I get it started by opening the throttle as I described. I’ll look into it.
2001 Mercruiser EFI 5.0. Starts perfect when cold. Starts even better if it is hot, say within a few minutes after running to full temp. But if you sit for an hour or so,engine won’t start unless you apply slight throttle and crank a little longer than normal. Has never been an issue on this...
