I have twin '94 5.0l Fords attached to SX drives.
I'm having a problem with the port engine surging at RPMs over 2500
She will run fine at times, then loose power, and surge over the RPM I was originally at.
I've changes the fuel/water filters 3 or 4 times this season.
I've put a tube into the...
I'm running twin 1994 Ford 5.0s with Cobra SX drives. Things have been running great until Saturday on my return back to the dock. I was running her WOT for a 10-15 minutes and pulled into a harbor for a few minutes. After getting back underway we took a hit (bang) from a wave, so I slowed down...
I have 1994 MPI fuel injected 5.0L Fords with VP SX drives and I need to raise the idle on one engine about 500rmp. Anyone know what screw or cable I need to tweek.
This engine is running a little low on the idle and when docking and changing gears back and forth it will sometimes stall. It...
I have a 1994 with twin OMC Cobra/VP SX drives and have been getting a trickle of water leaking into the boat this year. After some investigation I have found what I think is the problem. It seems that the transom plate is a little loose. The (2) bolts and (4) nuts are easily turned with a...

Thanks
Anyone have the correct firing odrer for this motor?
I have changed the Dist cap/rotor/wires/plugs and want to confirm that I have put it all back together correctly.
Thanks
OK, I know that upon installing the u-joint bellow that I need to use Bellows Adhesive in the housing flange and let it set-up a bit with the bellows on. Then tighten the clamp with the screw at the 2:00 position.
What about at the drive end of the bellows?
Does it just seat around the flange...
I've read all of the alignment links in the forum and I really didn't want to start another but here I am.
I have twins with SX drives. I have tried the alignment tool before installation this spring and I have a problem with one of the drives. They both were removed w/o any problem in the...
I am have a heck of a time finding a set of spark plug wires that fit an 1994 OMC/VP 5.0l MPI Ford.
I had purchased a set from Sierra P/N 18-8820-01 which the catalog says will fit but, yeah you guess it, they don't.
The problem is that the boots on the plug end of the originals are bent to...
OMC Cobra SX '94
While checking the gimbal bearing I noticed a circular spring type of seal behind the bearing that was sticking out. Is that part of the gimbal bearing or some type of seal?
I figure at this point I will replace the bearing but I am wondering about this spring type thing.
Thanks
I have twin '94 OMC SX drives which I had pulled this winter and are in my garage. I am now changing the oil and seals but what i found has made me curious.
The port drive has clean oil. The SB drive has oil that is a little bit cloudy and if you look close there is some "snot" floating around...
Is there a tilt down limit switch/valve on a '94 OMC/Volvo SX outdrive?
I have noticed that the cylindrical part of the leg where the exhaust bellows attaches is actually rubbing/wearing against a pivot on the gimbal. The area is bright alum so I know that it is new.
It appears that the trim...
Would anyone have an idea of the straightness tolerance spec on a Volvo SX prop shaft?
My port is within 3 thou and the the sp is within 6 thou
I ask because I hit something the other day. The skeg has a tweek at the tip and the edges of the prop fins have burrs.
When I look athe the props in...
I have a joint venture cobra/vp sx twins (1994) that has a new sound this year. When on the trailer and muffs I hear what sounds like gear chatter when I pull back on the throttle (in nuetral). On occation I hear it when in the water again in neutral but the exhaust noise covers a lot so I don't...
I have a 27' boat with twins. The trailer that I got from a friend fits the boat lenght but with the twins it is rearend heavy. When trailering the boat will begin to fishtail at ~45 mph. From what I understand this occurs whrn the balance is rearward. How do I set up this trailer without going...
