    Chrysler 75 horsepower seems to lack a lot of power at wot

    been a long time since i touched a Chrysler , so a guess here would be to check the points , probably replace if available?. i do remember the distributor adjustment and dwell had to be spot on to run correctly.

    Volvo Penta Knocking

    i had another listen to the knock once i noticed you post with good oil pressure . I'm wondering if it may be the drive plate broken an arm ( yea i know , best description i could come out with ) , its basically a tin plate with 3 arms if one was to break i recon the sound would be like that in...

    Engine turned off while running then wont start

    no , i am suggesting taking known good parts IE: fuel pressure reg from the working motor and attaching it to the non working one ,its reasonably easy to swap the regulators.you can even do the same with the pump. grab yourself an online manual if you are unsure of your ability's to put things...

    Engine turned off while running then wont start

    i would check the fuel pressure regulator 5 psi means the pump is operating , whether right is another story., you should be able to switch from one motor to the other to test.

    Volvo Penta Knocking

    that sounds like something is trying to get out of the sump , where is the oil pressure at ?. coupling possibly , but i doubt that being it is more a knock than a rattle .

    5.7 Overheating

    im gue3ssing you did not glue the O ring in place between the outdrive and the bell housing and it feel out during assembly. take the outdrive off and use contact adhesive on the O ring so as it stays in place this time .

    1983 Mercury 90HP outboard (3carbs) Bogs out when hot

    unless you have made changes to the motor there should be no reason to mess with screws or settings . i would say you have gummed up plugs or a internal carbon problem , im not sure if you can still buy it , but you used to be able to get some snake oil in a can that breaks down carboned up 2...

    Trim not working properly

    the Po of my Maxum looped the trim limit switch wires with a jumper wire and it only worked down and on trailer switches . the reason they did that was the trim limit switch had a bent connector inside the trim switch unit on the outdrive . simple fix , i just bent the slide tab back to where it...

    Converting to carburetor from mpi 350 mag

    the reason you should not use the HP fuel pump is the carb has no return line or fuel pressure regulator to send unused fuel back to the tank . relying on a simple needle and seat to hold 18 or more PSI of fuel pressure is asking for trouble / leak. a holley carb has no option for a return line...

    200 hp 90 degree powerhead, FITCH midsection

    look up the part number for the base gasket on both motors , if the gasket is the same there is a good chance that the power head will fit.

    5.0GL-C won’t get on plane

    interesting you are getting tapping after a stumble , it could mean the engine is running very lean from lack of fuel pressure, have you checked the filter where the pipe enters the carb , some carbs have a fine mesh filter there .

    Stalls out hot

    i think you are on the wrong track with the ballast resistor wire , coils , etc . ? when was the last time the water pump was serviced . if the water pump has recently been serviced then you may want to try giving the cooling system a flush , sediment in the water jacket can stop water...

    5.0GL-C won’t get on plane

    have fun ! a strip of cardboard box strategically placed in the head behind the rockers will help stop the oil from going onto the exhaust . also if you want you can set 0 lash @ 1 turn if you want .

    5.0GL-C won’t get on plane

    if set at 0 +1 lash you should be fine , however , the lash could have tightened once the lifters settled with oil pressure , ,you may possible have a couple or more tight ones that will cause a backfire and lack of high RPM performance under load (lifters pumping up). for the sake of it and...

    Converting to carburetor from mpi 350 mag

    i have 500 hp 5.7 that spins to 6700 rpm and only run a 600 cfm Holley performance carb , i could be wrong but IMO just a carb conversion will never give 100 hp to a motor , i think the "mechanic " is telling you lies. in saying that ,a carb conversion from EFI may give a little more , like...

    5.0GL-C won’t get on plane

    how did you set the valve lash ? ,if you fitted new lifters try backing them off till they click / clack then down 1/2 a turn and see if the problem disappears .. check all the lead are on the correct cylinders. IE: you haven't crossed a couple.
