I have a '95 Capri 1850 with a Mercruiser 3.0 LX.
I can get the engine to start, but it will not stay running. If I can hold the choke plate nearly closed, it would idle. If I open it up, it starts to die.
I have changed the base gasket to the carb. New distributor cap, plug wires, fuel filter, fuel/ water separator (previous owner disconnected it for some reason), cleaned the filter going into the carb, tried Lucas Complete engine treatment, dry gas, checked the anti siphon valve. I also disconnected the fuel line going into the carb and cranked the engine to make sure fuel would shoot into a coffee can, and it does. I have 12 volts at all of my purple wire locations. Please help.
