iv got a 2002 200 hp efi that is new to me,when it is cold it cranks right up , but when i run it a while it is hard to start.If i give it throttle it will start, but being an efi im pretty sure it should crank and idle with no throttle at all.

Yep Don will want your SN .
ser number 0T467866 any help in pointing me the right direction would be greatly appreciated.
it should start with ease when warm,first I would check all the basics when mtr will not start ,spark and fuel delivery,also sensors and set up [timming] at idle hope this helped JOE

I am have a similarly issue. Once u get it started does it idle with out haveing to leave your foot on the gas?
Don, told me, when I had my 1999 EFI 200, that the primer bulb needed to pumped before each start and He was right.
No it idles fine after I start itOriginally Posted by ranger842vs
the bulb always seems hard,that's the first thing I tried after hard starting thanks for the replies guys I'm hoping to run it tomorrow if it's not raining
looks like it will be a week or so before i can run it,after i do i will check in
report back

sleeper bird you described my same problem to a T . i have a filter in my bilge that i am going to replace and see if that helps. i have a 2002 efi 175 . i am interested to see what you come up with or anyone else and will let you know if i find anything
im a little baffled myself
Mercury doesn't recommend adding aftermarket fuel filter's to their motor's. may cause it to run too lean. is what I was told.
i got this boat last fall and the filter was already in place. It has always started with the click of the key until recently. But i will bypass filter to see if that helps thank you
very true MIKE/tried diff brand fuel ???

well i think my problem was bad fuel.I filled up with gas this morning and after fishing a spots it started just like it should. JOE54 you were correct
sleeper bird i hope your problem is that simple too
me too

my problem is back. merc not wanting to start after warms up. After more research i think it may be a stator going bad. I see there are a few brand options . Any i should stay away from and should i change any other parts or just stator. Is this a straight forward job or is it something a merc mechanic should do also can the old stator be repaired
I would have to do some testing before I replaced stator/flywheel gota come off/ no to repairing old one

His motor is a down draft engine and should have a Alternator and a one box( ECM ) unit .....no stator .
