    Tach gray wire short?

    My purple and grey wire connecting points (225 hp V6 (1986)) is under a black cover between the two powerpacks....it is a terminal strip with plastic separating the wires ....so all the yellows go together, all the purples go together, all the greys go together there, under their respective...

    Tach gray wire short?

    the grey wire to the VRO is a tach pulse that does NOT drive your tach on the dash. The tach pulse to the VRO is used internally to count the number of pulses. There is an IC chip that counts the pulses. As the VRO pump works properly it closes off a contact momentarily to reset the pulse...

    Want a newer cowling for my 1986 225hp.....what are my options

    I have a 1986 225hp E225txcda...I assume it is a 90 degree looper. Are there any newer upper and lower cowlings that would fit perfectly? If so can someone tell what years would work?

    1997 GP1200 and WB760 - both need starting spray the first time of day

    The starting spray has the upper cylinder oil added to it. FYI If they sit for more than day (with battery charger on) and I try to start them by pulling the choke, I can crank and crank and crank they won't start. but if I do a quick squirt of spray they start right up and stay running. I'm...

    voltage reading too high even at idle

    1986 225hp Evinrude E225txcda The regulator is not that old, I'd have to look at the receipts or the date code on the regulator. It is a CDi Electronics version. I have two AGM batteries 34M (dual purpose) ...one is from 2015 the other is brand new. Had them both on Battery Tender overnight...

    What is this SeadDoo Mpep and dress key I am seeing some needing?

    looking at some older PWC and some seadoos are requiring a MPEP...$1500+ new!?!?!?! What I don't get is if the motors I'm looking at are 2-stroke carbed, where does a computer enter the equation? What is this 'dress key" I keep seeing being sold with used ones?

    another one - kawasaki 2003 1100 zx1.....thoughts?

    I see parts are still available...and full upper piston set is about $250 for all three...that's reasonable to me. Do they do the 'jug' thing like yamaha? Same kind of power valve thingy?

    thoughts of 2013 Polaris Genesis with trailer BUT 'cracked piston' for sale.

    I know nothing of this PWC, but I am very handy mechanically. The owner doesn't sound like she knows a lot about the vehicle and is just selling the trailer with a free PWC on top of it...she was told it had a cracked piston....I assume they mean a cracked head. the price of the trailer is...

    Just curious on tips and tricks for hopping up an old 225 hp V6 (1986)

    I've been talking to guy who hops up a FICHT 3.3L and converts them to carb... Stage 1 is just converting to carb, but stage 3 is taking the connecting rods and crank from the old V6 and new pistons, and old V6 heads and a bunch of porting... I heard that taking a 1993 and newer v6 carbs to the...

    FIXED!! - 1986 225 hp Evinrude not getting to WOT (again!!!!)

    UPDATE: So I took out all the hi-speed jets through the drain plugs of each bowl and found nothing(no debris)...also the fuel in the bowls was perfect no sign of water. I did, however, find a hose that comes from the fuel distribution manifold (plastic gizmoe with a bunch of nipples to feed the...
