    1997 Mercruiser 4.3 LX not running steady steady at idle or higher RPM's

    So I pulled the carb again and used the ultrasonic cleaner. I reinstalled it and it seems to be running pretty good now. Going to try to water test it and see how it goes. I will probably try to fine tune it if needed when out on the water. Not completely sure if my timing is set correctly since...

    1997 Mercruiser 4.3 LX not running steady steady at idle or higher RPM's

    Hi, I have a 1997 Mercruiser 4.3 LX Gen+ starts fine, but when at idle or at higher RPMs the engine does not run consistently smooth and the RPMs will waiver. Seems like I tried everything but still having the same problem. Checked gas for water Replaced fuel filter Disconnected from main tank...
