    Pleasurecraft lifter question

    I have a 1987 v-8 Ford Pleasurecraft and am going to do the lifters on it. I've done plenty on GM Mercs but am a little nervous about going and doing it on a Ford. Mainly because I don't have specs and am not sure if there is a difference with valve adjustments. Other than that I am assuming...

    Spray Rail Installation

    If this topic already exists just let me know where to looked but I tried search and couldn't find anything. I'm going to try to install a spray rail and am wondering if there are any instructions online or on this forum for doing so. I was looking at another boat that has a spray rail and...

    YMIS Question

    I have a 1992 yamaha 3 cyl. 60hp engine with a YMIS system. I'm curious if there is a movable timer base on this or is it stationary. The engine is running funny and doesn't sound like it is advancing. There is a spot on the linkages where there would normally be a arm connecting to the...

    merc runs strange after full throttle running

    Mercury 225 1998 OG625239 (fuel inj.) Engine runs great even at full throttle but when I take it back from full throttle and try to idle it will do all sorts of popping and shaking. It won't stall though. So far others have looked at it and all the filters were changed. I took a look at it...

    Mercruiser MPI Won't Start

    I don't have the model number but have I think enough info about the engine for what is going on. It is a 2002 MPI v-8 Bravo with an ECM 555. I let it sit for a few weeks and when I came back it wouldn't start. It will crank and crank and when I let go of the ignition switch it almost sounds...

    carburetor question

    I've got about six rochester 4-bbls sitting around that I would like to rebuild this winter. Rebuilding them is not a problem for me as I have done plenty before, the problem is I don't know what engine they came off of or are for. In other words some specs say for engine X the float has has...

    best way to pressurize block water passages?

    OMC 5.7L, can't find the model number anywhere, but it is salt water cooled, carbed, and conventional ignition. Found water in the oil after running it for a short time at the dock. I would like to pressurize the block's cooling passages, I'm assuming to do this I would take the hoses off that...

    Looking for older yamaha trim pump

    yamaha 90 ETLJ 1986 ser # 459110 I'm hoping someone can help me find either a used trim pump for this motor (the hydraulic side mainly not the electric pump). Or at least a rebuild kit, or a trim/tilt motor that can be used in place of the one that is there. This motor has a leak and will...

    Mercruiser 5.0l MPI Fuel Pressure

    Mercruiser 5.0L Bravo III MPI, I think it needs a new fuel pump but thought I would see what you guys think as never had to do one on an mpi yet. Runs for a few seconds then stalls. Checked the fuel pump fuse and it is fine. Can hear the pump turn on for about three seconds. Have almost 5psi...

    yamaha idles about 400

    Yamaha 250TXRP engine 6 cyl. I had it out the other day and as I was running it the oil alarm came on. I brought it right back in and saw the tank on the boat (not the engine) was low so I filled it up. I don't think I hurt anything but I was wondering if the engine could have went into some...

    Plug Wire Part Numbers?

    I've got an Evinrude optical Ignition System 175hp 1995. I heard that the plug wires have to be specific so I was just wondering if someone can help me find the part number for that. I have some of the universal kind where you kind of make your own plug wires by cutting them and putting on the...

    Question about 1 cylinder with no spark.

    I'm going to get the engine number and all that but I don't have it right now. It is a mercury v-6 2.5l (switch box ignition). I have one cylinder that isn't firing, #6, but it only isn't firing at the plug. I can take the jumper off and ground it to an engine ground and it will fire (using...

    What is this part? (Pic)

    This was taken off of a boat with a mercruiser (but I don't think it is part of the engine that is why I am posting it here). I thought it was a regulator for an alternator but they are usually small and attached to the alternator and thought maybe it wasn't that. Then I thought maybe it was...
