Nailed it!
I was in the engine wiring section of marineengine/iboats and was only getting listings for full harnesses.
The 3.0 gets 20 amps of TKS voltage from it's own oil pressure switch, or it's 12v keyed, it's there regardless oil pressure would be ideal but keyed is good enough i don't...
The ones with the 2 pins, and rubber gaskets that clip together, I need to replace a single one and would really rather like to avoid splicing if at all possible, but will if I have to.
I have been looking for a source of them, but can't seem to find one.
No one ever posts the resolution to these kinds of posts, so when you search them nothing worth reading comes up :D
I took it out today and pulled the flame arrestor, I let it warm up until the hissing stopped, venturis were still bone dry.
I throttled up to 1800-1900 RPM, it ran fine for a...
I can assure you these ones are in pretty tight. Since they're the "you should use a phillips but we cut a flat blade extension in" screw heads, someone took a way too big flat head and greased them as tight as humanly possible, and turned the heads into what looks like security screws.
It's...
Yeah I came from the world of smaller outboards and dirt bikes and stuff where the carbs aren't quite as complicated, but I figured there was some type of internal valve or passage or something that handles the different circuits.
My accelerator pump definitely shoots strong and that's probably...
I have a new 2019 long block with 150 compression across all the cylinders, and a brand new fuel filter in the pump.
It was built up from a blown up 2008 3.0 TKS, so long block replacement, toss all the old parts on the new engine, so the carb is definitely original, and it shows signs of being...
I wouldn't even think of it being an issue, but there it was. I think I must have taken up some of the slack that's normally in speedo tube when I clipped it to the water hose, and for some reason it just wants to slowly rest against the port side now, and when you move the shifter into...
If vice grip garage guy can go out to a car that's been sitting in a field, pop the cap, file the points with his leatherman, and drive the damn thing, I don't think you need to even think about them on even a 5-year basis unless you are in salt.
First the question, let's say I want to delete on the speedometer hose is there a plug I can put in the transom assembly from inside the boat? I have a GPS speedometer and would like to just delete this whole tube.
And here is the story of a man who finished up a transom refresh, after many...
It has nothing to do with the water pressure. The teeth of the clutch dog are ramped, they are meant to ratchet in the opposite direction.
When the clutch dog is pushed into the rotating forward or reverse gear, which has a similar design, it will turn and seat until the flat parts mesh...
@Scott Danforth My exhaust flappers are still there, I pulled the rubber booties on my riser, it's still in decent shape, so I am guessing everything downpipe of it is fine.
@Chris1956 Yeah the 3.0L Iron block I am not worried about, they'll run longer with basically no compression than most...
I was winterizing my boat and the first thing on my check list was to replace the fuel filter since it's never ever been done (it needed it).
I guess on the muffs there wasn't enough water coming in, misaligned muffs, or something else, that I wasn't getting enough water to the impeller while...
Awesome, perfect information! I got it all aligned. It goes in so smooth you can barely tell it's going into the coupler except for the spline marks in the grease.
Someone put a greasable bearing into my housing before I bought the boat, but it has the plug where the zerk fitting was that...
I don't have the front mount, I have two brackets on the side of the Engine, Attached is the Diagram. Which sucks because every Video, Forum Post, Etc. I read is for the front mount that blocks your belts from being easy to replace.
I am assuming that the top bolts are loosened. My Real...
My outdrive seems fairly solid, but seeing as how the previous owner blew up an engine, and the condition of the remaining gasket material in the water pump when I did it, my guess is the previous owner believed in waiting for things to break before fixing them, so i've been doing some catchup...
