Ok so i was having issues starting my 240 merc and most of the issue was clogged/ shit fuel. I drained and cleaned the fuel system and seemed to have helped. I had a medium sized zip tie going around the wheel on the throttle wheel to add some throttle since thats the only way i could get the boat to start. After going out the past two days on the boat for about 20-30 minutes when i would go to neutral the boat would sometimes high idle, i figured out it was probably because i was throwing off the tps with the zip tie on the throttle wheel. Also when i was going around 5mph in a no wake zone heading back to the boat ramp the boat smoking pretty bad, burning way too much oil. today was a rainout i couldnt work on the boat so looks like tmrw i will start investigating.
Im thinking i might need to adj. the oil settings (anyone have a pic of the screws i need to adj?) i didnt see them in the manual. And I should check the throttle adjustments, anything else? the boat will only start if i give it some throttle while cranking over. i know i shouldnt do that but its the only way it will start/ stay running..
Thanks,
Frank
