I've got a mercruiser 5.7 (2 barrel carb). A couple weeks ago in Bamfield it started idling terribly...as soon as the rpm drops below 1500-2000 it dies. Runs perfect above that. At the time I dumped out the fuel water separator and found it had about 1/2 water 1/2 fuel. Installed a new filter, added some methyl hydrate filled the tank with good gas...the problem persists!
A little stressful docking a 6000 lb boat that won't idle.
Any ideas? Hoping it's something simple before I take it in to the mechanic.
Thanks
