Looking for an oil filter for a 2000 Seadoo GTI. Found the part number 275 000 051... wondering if someone more experienced with I knows of a common local replacement found at a Walmart, Autozone, Orielly's, etc... etc...
Thanks
I had to take off my intake manifold today to get the oil reservoir out, that's another story, I noticed after removing it that there was no gasket between the metal on the manifold and the carb. Is this common practice on a Rotax PWC engine? I found some diagrams online and they listed no...
Does this need to be drained for winter on a 2.5L Mercruiser? It's an 1983. I've got everything else down with the winterization... I'm assuming that hose just drains out of the outdrive when the drive leg is down thanks to good ole gravity.
First: I switched from premium (91 w/o ethanol) to regular gas (87) before this happened. This is an 83 Mercruiser 120.
The last two times I had my boat out it started up and idled great. But after running nearly WOT and then coming to a stop and shutting down, to deploy tubes, it would not...
This is an '83 2.5L Merc 120
My carb appears to have adjusted itself this week. It still idles 600-800 RPM's but I recently had issues starting it because the choke flap didnt set when i pumped to WOT. I loosened the screw and the flap was able to shut but haven't attempted a test fire yet to...
My alternator is dead weight... It always shows the voltage of the battery while running and I have to charge the battery every about every 4 hours of use I think it's safe to say it's dead. I see most OEM replacements are available through iboats and others... They seem to run. 170-200.
So...
I seem to have a healthy amount of oil mixed with water on my garage floor and plenty more in the bilge... quite the mess. Probably half a quart maybe some more.
There seems to be seepage all around the starter housing. I'm not much of an engine buff; is it even possible to leak from the...
I have the thermal choke on my 83 Mercruiser 120 Rochester carb. The last 3 times I started it was very difficult to get turned over. I started poking around at this and noticed the choke was all the way open even after a few days of sitting.
Is the same spring that warms this thing up and...
My manual tells me to only use a straight weight but I see some people are throwing in 20w-40 (isn't that multiple viscosity?).
What's the favorite oil among the 2.5/3.0 Mercruiser owners? Is it 4.0 Quarts with the filter?
It's a 1983.
Is this normal? or am I loosing drive oil into a bellow? It isn't visibly leaking anywhere (like from the exhaust or or water intake). If it's leaking into a bellow what should keep the drive oil from getting into one of the bellows?
If that's the case other than running out of drive oil...
I'm trying to make sure I stay on all the fun maintenance with my new (old) I/O. I hear drive oil tossed around a lot. I think it is, but I want to confirm that its the same thing as lower gear lube? Or is there something else in the out drive further up?
Just wondering; I've heard some wild variations from 25-50MPH from people. Thought it would be cool to collect it into one spot :)
Please share your speed and RPM's @ WOT and your boat w/ prop pitch (if you know it)!
I have the boat on the top in my sig line. I currently have a 14x19 (3 blade) prop on it. When increasing power the engine bogs and it takes awhile to get on plane. I have a hydro foil installed. After it gets on plane I get 32 MPH @ 4300 so the compression is probably good. Think I need a...
I've had my boat out 4 times and now it's going to get to 31 F tonight. Do I need to drain? Or is there no way the water in the block could freeze that fast? This my first I/O. Anyone have a link to a manual to locate freeze plugs? Specifics in sig.
Thanks!
