04 500efi starting issue
I have been having an issue with warm starts.starboard engine starts and runs great no issues. Port engine is having issues after sitting an hour or two I go and try to start engine will only crank. I will open engine hatch give it a few seconds then engine starts no issue. I have scanned it for codes none present. Anyone have this problem before and or any thoughts on it.
Thanks
Thanks

It is vapor lock and the port engine will always vapor lock easier since the fuel filter is right near the headers for both engines.
Its a common problem with all cool fuel engines. Merc makes a booster pump kit that will cure it.
