2004 DF115's with about 400 hours. Motors have always fired right up quick as you hit the key.
After changing all fuel lines to the blue ethanol safe lines - - my port motor takes more grinding on the starter to fire off. Once running it will run fine at any throttle setting even wide open.
I replaced the spin on fuel filters/water seperators and got no change.
Additionally: I seldom if ever idle for extended periods, but this weekend I let these babies roll for about 5 minutes at the dock, and the port one stalled out on me. Took some grinding to get it fired back off and ran like a champ.
The next morning, I let em idle again to see if the port one would stall and it did it again.
In the 7 years I have had these I have never had to pump the bulb before I fire the motors up. Pumping the bulb on the port engine does NOT seem to make it start easier.
I suspected 'getting air' as an issue but wouldnt that be evident at high rpm? Generally that would make it starve for fuel when you are at 4200 rpm or so wouldnt it? I am stumped. No codes are being displayed.
