My 1989 Z33 with 454's & Bravo 1's had trouble starting the starboard motor today.
Both motors always started great, the port fired right up today, but the starboard took over 20 mins of trying. It get sounding like it was going to fire, almost there, but no go. I could smell fuel, so I know it was electrical. I tried playing with all connections, thinking something rattled loose. The choke was engaging and there is lots of fuel.
Finally it fired. But it sounds like maybe it is intermitantly missing, almost slightly surging. It almost sounds like it is running on less than 8 cylinders and every second or so it kicks in and runs smooth, then back to miss, then smooth again.
When I rev it is is slow to respond and sounds kinda ruff. Where the port motor is responsive and smooth.
Any ideas?
Bad Coil? Plugs? Wires?
Thanks for the help.
