Still leaking. After unloading the boat it seemed to be ok. After a short ride we beached for a while. During the next ride the leak started back and it continued until I left the lake.
Any advice?
I took the fuel pump off and apart. I see why they use the security torx. Didn’t see anything so I put it back together and back on the boat.
Fired it up and the FVS is not leaking. Idk. Turned it off and on a few times and it seems to be ok. I’ll take it to the lake tomorrow and see how she runs.
I have a 2014 DF115 with approximately 36 hours. The overflow from the fuel vapor separator is leaking.
I have taken it apart a half dozen times. If I blow through the fuel inlet the needle seats and I can not blow through it. Flip it over I can blow freely. It seems to be properly seating. I...
I had to leave for work before I was able to test for a dead cylinder. I’ll get a chance to work on it again in a few weeks. It makes sense that something isn’t quite right internally that would cause the other adjustments to be so extended(?).
You read correctly. The idle stop screw is almost all the way in. A few threads are left on the head side of the screw.
I’ll run her up and pull the plug wires and see what we got.
The idle screw itself is not moving. Is the trunnion the part made into the air intake cover that holds the cable adjustment barrel?
What is your suggestion on how to make sure she’s running on all 4 cylinders and to check the piston skirt condition?
It is 5°. I have it set at 5°.
I have gone through the procedures listed in the thread I linked to a few posts up several times.
-Essentially disconnected all cables.
-Ensured top and bottom carbs were closed and tied together.
-Set pickup timing to 5°.
-Idle is approx 700 in gear and 1100 out...
Does the timer base have a spring or something that is supposed to pull it back to the idle position or is the return strictly in the throttle cable? I ask because when the cables are disconnected the arm will stay where it is and only the slightest amount of force is necessary to put it back...
I’d agree. That book is tough to follow.
Luckily there is a plethora of information on YouTube and the forums to supplement.
I’ve pretty much touched ever single bolt on this motor as part of this boat refurbishment.
I entirely rebuilt a 76. Then got a tilt trim unit. The tilt trim wouldn’t fit...
I checked the control box. I found that the fast idle arm was loose. It apparently had been put in a little cockeyed at some point and the alignment tabs had slipped into place allowing some movement. I hoped that was the problem. It was not.
On a good note the arm does work very well. She idles...
