I am running a mercruiser(2010) 3.0L TKS stern drive, raw water cooled in one of my boats. In ambient temperatures about 60-75 F it takes about 12 minutes for the module to activate and the idle RPM goes down to abt 700 rpm. But in colder whether boating, less than 50 F it take ages for the idle to go down, last season mad my last trip in abt 35-40F and it was like 40 minutes before rpm went down enough .....just tested the module, it seams to work according to specs, except for it takes abt 12 minutes instead of 8-10 to extract fully.
Anyone experienced the same, any fix for this? It is possible that the engine runs cold( when its cold...), the scale on the gauges is very rough so hard to tell, or then the thermo electric switch powering the TKS module is maybe somehow faulty? I was thinking on adding thin isolation on the TKS module( but maybe its getting too hot then?)..... I don't like this system at all, as don't like it on my 2 stroke Yamaha 90 either. Simple choke is much better IMHO.
Thanks for any comments
