    Ruined Engine

    Welcome Which VP motor is it? Happen to have a serial number? Open or closed cooled? That is a lot of white smoke coming out so first thing I would want to see is the motor and hose routing. The knocking sounds real bad so need to know how hot did it get. Did it run fine after the over heat...

    Don't care, weather it runs on the bench is not the issue, it's if it runs on the motor

    Fuel delivery

    I think this is most simple Have someone turn the key ON and you have your hand on the cool fuel pump under the port side motor mount. Does it turn ON for a couple seconds If YES - attach fuel pressure gauge to furl rail and key ON again and see if pressure gets to 43 psi If NO - Check fuse...

    Fuel delivery

    You can check at the pump, which is good enough. Most like the relay because it's easier to get to. If pump does not turn on then need to check at relay Use block or bat ground

    350Magmpi

    Fuel pressure should maintain 43 psi give or take no matter what the manifold vacuum is. Dropping below this is an issue Lets start with a engine serial number so we know what your working on. There are a lot of 350 mag MPI's but many of them have different inputs causing different faults/outputs

    Key ON, MPR energizes and sends power thru out ECM and to FP relay ECM powers up, hear beep and then applies ground to pin A-19 for couple seconds which powers on FP If you put meter on pin A-19 or pi 86 of FP relay before key is turned ON you will see 0V. Key ON, 12V to relay coil and "may"...

    496 HO Failure

    Your testing prior tells me its not in the head "compression test" all good. The top end is good so only thing left is bottom end and it making a lot of noise. Running the motor will do nothing but make anything that might be salvageable less likely. The more it runs the more something else...

    Fuel delivery

    Fuel pumps are energized by the ECM applying a ground to one side of the relay coil. The other side gets 12V from the Main Power Relay (MPR) Which cool fuel do you have (no serial number listed)?

    2002 Chaparral 286 SSI

    Don't change the prop unless it's not reaching WOT max RPM. A 3 blade prop is good, going to a 4 blade can help but also hurt performance. Need to know what current prop is doing and not doing before even thinking of changing

    Another prop slipping thread

    Use same coupler as removed, splines will be aluminum and should have squared edges not rounded or pointed.

    Another prop slipping thread

    Prop hub not spun Drive locks up and doesn't spin Only thing left is the coupler Remove drive and look at the coupler thru gimbal. Look to see if rubber has stripped mostly away from center. If drive doesn't slide off easy it's not aligned The extra hp is ok so long as the boat is light and...
