Engine issue
So I have an odd thing happening on my Trojan 10.8 international. Boat has 454’s. So several weeks ago I was out running the boat for a couple of hours and dropped anchor to hang out. Boats gennie was running while anchored. When I went to start starboard engine to head back in it fired right up and ran for a couple of minutes and shut down. I was able to start it a couple of times after that but it would shut down quickly. Headed back on one engine. Following week boat ran fine no issues with either engine. Today, exact same issue happens but this time on the port engine. I decided to open the gas fill to see what would happen. Boat fired right up with zero issues. Proceeded to put the fill cap back on and headed back without issue. The gas vent screen appeared to be clear .... not clogged. Any thoughts???

Re: Engine issue
Kind of odd , seems more heat related . But both engines ? Any noise when you pulled off the cap ? Do bothe engines run off the same tank ?

Re: Engine issue
Yes, both engines run off one tank. No noises
Re: Engine issue
Could this have anything to do with anti siphon valves?
