I replaced the fuel pump filter and the inline carb filter on my 1985 Mercruiser 170MR. First time on the water ran good for 1/2 hour then starved for fuel at 2500-3000 rpm. Retarding the throttle kept the engine running, but continued to starve after running for a few minuets at 2500 rpm...
I have a 1985 170 I/O Mercrusier with a side mount throttle control. When I shift from neutral to FWD the engine dies as if I shut off the key. There is no hesitation, backfire or any indication that fuel is the issue. Is there something in the throttle contol that will shut off the engine...
