Rough Running.

[Jon]

OK,

Popped down the friggin Mariner after work tonight to check the Sexy Beast is ready for a damm good thrashin this weekend and what do i find?

No, Batteries are good.

No, the boats still there.

Well ill tell you what. I fires the girl up and shes idling rough and misfiring an at. Well i checks the dizzy aint damp an thats ok, and everything looks as it should but shes runnin rough.

Pikey bloke down the Marina says" You godda **** in de carbs mate"!

How often i got a do that then? any ideas anyone?

it appears that the misfiring is common to both banks and not just one. the engine appears to hunt a little. (No deerstalker jokes please).

Its a 454 7.2L 330hp Bravo 1990 with 150 hours and full service history.

Any ideas chaps?

manifolds leeking water into the exhaust / pots , fowling the plugs......... can only get worse

Cheers Simon,

I was planning to look at the manifolds during the off season.

I think you could be right with your diagnosis and as its pouring with rain as i type i think the off season has begun and ill pull her out and investigate.

I will let you know the outcome in due course.

Thanks.
