    Mercruiser 5.0 MPI idling problem

    Does it only stall when you're going into/out of gear? Is this an alpha or bravo?

    I turn the key but nothing happens.

    Check voltage at the yellow/red wire coming into the slave solenoid and at the ignition switch when you have key in start

    Getting challenging to find somewhat common items?

    I remember having to actually pick up a phone and call a ton of places to find parts for my VWs back in the day. And God help me when I had a Saab. Parts are infinitely easier to get now in most cases.

    Mercruiser 5.7mpi horizon single cylinder burning lean

    Are you sure it's firing? First step for me would be to put a noid light on it. Also need to make sure you're getting spark to that cylinder

    Mercruiser 3.0 wants to die only at 1800 RPM

    An impact screwdriver can work wonders, otherwise screw extractors/left handed bits might work. The screws aren't in very tight. Well, shouldn't be very tight.

    '04 Merc 25hp dead(ish) cylinder

    Just to hopefully close this out... Got another DVA that read a bit better, and made the troubleshooting easy. Those stator readings were accurate. 300v on cylinder 1. Cylinder 2 would stay around 100v, where it made an inconsistent, weak spark. Enough to sometimes trigger the timing light and...

    Glad you got it sorted. Troubleshooting is tough when you have faulty replacements.

    Electric boat maker shutters plant in WV

    Anything outside of CA? Kind of, AFAIK they are all still essentially hybrid vehicles though (last I looked they still had good sized lithium batteries as well). And again, leased in CA only. Right now a better choice than electric, but still not the best long term solution imo. Everybody...

    Electric boat maker shutters plant in WV

    Once again, nothing to do with politics. Infrastructure would need to be built from the ground up, and hydrogen is difficult to produce and transport. Really, the only benefits of hydrogen vs EV are quicker filling and maybe weight. You'll never be able to fuel an H2 vehicle from your house.

    Alpha One Gen II drive slipping under load

    Either your coupler, broken driveshaft, or wiped out gears. Coupler sounds most likely still. Pull the top cover on the drive to check the gears, and/or pull the drain plug to check for metal.

    I saw an X shore at one of the local watering holes... Interestingly, it was on a lift with no shore power attached to it. I've been meaning to ask about it and post pics, but, well, you know...

    Mercruiser 470 runs rough after 15 Minutes

    If you have spark you can stop chasing your ignition system. Is your choke opening?

    N W S and NOAA post Hazardous Weather Conditions. When my area is having normal weather. Why ?

    This is blatantly untrue. Yes, it gets hot in the SW, but if you don't think that the temperatures have become more extreme, the fires worse, storms worse, etc then you're either not paying attention or just being willfully ignorant. Thinking that there's always a political agenda with science...

    Update: Mini: Got it fixed, reasonable job. Had to remind him that after 2 weeks, there was a firm deadline. He ignored it, but ended up working on it over the weekend and finishing it. Showed up and total due was $450 more than I was quoted. He said the part cost more than he thought. Not my...
