    Mercruiser 4.3L Randomly Shuts off While Cruising

    The Mercrusier 4.3L in my 2000 Bayliner Capri sometimes just randomly shuts off while cruising or every once in a while at idle too. It always starts back up right away like nothing happened. It revs just fine and the boat goes to its top speed no problem. While out on the lake over the...

    94 5.0 clicks but wont turn over

    Nope. There is just 2 bolts in a staggered pattern at the bottom. Remove them and the starter will drop down. It is tough as he'll to remove the starter. Those bolts are tight. Using a socket wrench you want to turn towards the outdrive or left. (Clockwise looking down from the top) I doubt...

    2000 4.3L Mercruiser turns over but doesn't start.

    I think the pump is good. I can feel fuel rushing into the carburetor at the fuel inlet. I'm going to try and take off the the metal pipe at the inlet of the carburetor and check for a blockage. If like you said fuel should enter the carb when the throttle is pumped, then there has to be...

    2000 4.3L Mercruiser turns over but doesn't start.

    Trying to start my Mercruiser 4.3L and it just turns and turns but no start. I've replaced all the spark plugs. I checked the main fuel filter/water separator and its clean. My fuel pump works. It turns on a couple seconds after cranking and I tried pluging it in directly to the battery. It...

    The fact that you're hearing the click at the starter even after jumping the slave solenoid means it's most likely an issue with the starter solenoid or the starter itself. I had a similar issue and I ended up replacing the starter. But before we go that far here is a few things to check...

    Mercruiser 4.3L Just clicks once when trying to start! Help!!

    Yup that's what I tried. No luck. I also tried jumping the other terminal on the starter solenoid and that did nothing either. I have a feeling that the starter was submerged or heavily drenched in water at some point in time. All the bolts are corroded and like I said the 90amp fuse on it was...

    Mercruiser 4.3L Just clicks once when trying to start! Help!!

    This is my first boat, but I have experience in automotive so it's not too hard to figure out. I have no idea the last time this thing ran or what's wrong with it, auctions can be hit or miss. I did some more testing, I unplugged everything and just put a jumper cable to the starter with the...

    Working on a 2000 Bayliner Capri that I bought from an auction. This is my first time trying to start it. When I try to start all I get is one click thats coming from the slave solenoid on top of the engine and nothing else. Here is what I've tried so far: Jumping the 2 bolts on the slave...

    Need Help From 94-03 Bayliner Capri Owners!!

    I recently purchased a 2000 Bayliner Capri 1850 BB. The previous owner for some unexplainable reason took out the ignition switch and simply cut the wires going to it in the back along with a few other wires. Installing a new switch is easy but I have no idea which wires to connect to it. Can...
