I have a mercruiser 6.2 MPI its a 2003 model in a 2003 Rinker 232br. If I have been running the motor then stop for a little bit then try to start the motor again it will not start and it will flood the engine to the point I can smell the fuel. If I wait for about ten minutes with the fans running it will then start. I have had 2 dealers look for the problem and neither have found the problem. Any body have any suggestions on what the problem is?

Re: motor problem

The boat is shot. Luckily, I like you and I'd be willing to take the boat off your hands, cheap. Use the money to buy an older boat that already has the problems worked out.... :D

Re: motor problem

When you go to start it back up does the engine roll over fast?

Re: motor problem

It would prob not hurt to pull off the top and see what things look like

Re: motor problem

Jeff, it's an MPI, there is no carb to pull the top off of.<br /><br />RF, what's the Merc SN of your engine. Since you have had 2 dealers already look at it, don't expect anything fast, as the MPI system can be quite complicated to check out......<br />Do you have a manual? Cause there will be questions.
