This kinda follows a similar thread going on now with a 97 Challenger.
This year I put on brand new carbs, which are supposed to be direct replacements. Specifically part # 204250069 PTO and 204250068 MAG.
They look identical to the olds ones (the old ones had an eccelerator pump nozzles that were plugged and could not break free plus other problems).
The problem I am now having is hard starting after sitting a few minutes when warm. It will start fine if I use 1/2 throttle but it is definetly loaded up Shouldnt have to do this.
The carbs were brand new, never used (wrapped in the box) and function great other than that.
One point that I noted during the installation was the accel pump ajusting screw seemed to be glued and also had a white stripe painted on it (like they didnt want you to change it). I tried a bit, but the nut was very secure and I didnt want to bend anything. As it sits, it was set-up to just make contact with the trottle plates fully closed. On the boat with the throttle adjusted for idle, the accel pump is partially activated my a small amount.
Any thoughts here?
