I have a 99 bayliner with a 5.0 merc alpha 1 gen 2. It has a 2 barrel Sierra carb. The engine is rebuilt only about 3 or 4 hours on it so far. Also rebuilt the carb. I finally got it running right after setting the float height in the carb and now ot runs great on the first start up. No issues. After I drive it around it for a bit it doesn't want to idle and needs full throttle to start. I could be wrong but I don't think there is an iac valve on this engine. Just an electric choke. Other than the idling issue it seems to run great once I do get it started.
