    Ignition system common failures? 1994 7.4GL

    Stalls if I lean it out. Sorry I don't have the SN yet, will have it in a few days hopefully. Problem is that a lot of those prestolite bid parts are NLA. Now I recall the last time out the tach was bouncing a fair bit. Maybe related, maybe not.

    Ignition system common failures? 1994 7.4GL

    will do, but wouldn't it backfire at idle if the intake valve wasn't closing?

    Ignition system common failures? 1994 7.4GL

    Definetly the BID system. If it wasn't for the flame arrestor the boat would have definitely blown up by now. IMHO not the power valve because if it was blown the engine would be idling really rich, right now it idles fine with the screws 1.5 turns out. Is there a procedure for testing the...

    175 Opti Cuts out, low fuel/air pressures

    that fuel pressure is for the high pressure side. Use a chunk of clear hose to check for any air bubbles, and check the low pressure pump.

    Ignition system common failures? 1994 7.4GL

    Hi, this one has me stumped. Seems like im better at diagnosing efi motors than the carbed ones. I don't know the exact model number, because the sticker is long gone, but it is a 1994 7.4GL. The ignition system is NOT the EST, or the EEM version. Here is a pic of the motor: This thing...

    Volvo penta stalling help

    Try disconnecting the battery for a day and then hooking it back up, might not do anything since its an open loop system, but you could try. It really sounds like your IAC is not dashpotting. This is where I like the data logger graph to monitor tps, rpm, and iac position (idk about volvo, but...

    crank question

    Hello I got a bunch of free motors (3x 20MLHU, 1x 30MLHU). the 20s are pretty trashed, but I was thinking I could make 2 good ones out of 3. All the crank needs is the bearings on the crank replaced. How do I go about doing this? pic of one of the cranks: the 30 hp motor has good everything...

    Mystery corrosion. 2007 F150

    I found a free motor at the scrapyard (2007 F150). The lower unit looked good, without any corrosion at all, so it was a no brainer to load it up. It was partially disassembled, but with all the parts there. The oil was all milky. I pulled the head and found this: Funny that the anodes aren't...

    2004 optimax 150 no fire on #4

    I think you figured it out yourself... easy enough to test the wire. Also check that the grounds are clean and tight, and that ALL of the pins in the ecm plugs supply power and ground where needed.

    Need seat recommendations

    Hello! The seats on my tuffy are all ripped. I can't decide which ones are better. I'd like to stay within $200 USD if possible. Everyone says the centric II SAS is the best, but they don't make those anymore. So option 1 is the tempress probax. Looks nice, although the thing that puts me off...

    HELP - trying to drive in inner bearing race... NEED TRICKS

    Seems like I learned that the hard way. I need the L68110 bearing it seems, whereas the standard one that I bought is L68111. Got to hate those "unique" ideas.

    HELP - trying to drive in inner bearing race... NEED TRICKS

    It was in a trailer bearing kit. There are three different kits for 3 different size bearings. They are all obviously different. I bought the one that looked exactly like mine. There was no way I would be able to see an 0.5mm difference on the store shelf.

    HELP - trying to drive in inner bearing race... NEED TRICKS

    figured it out, it turns out the race was 0.5 mm too big. The old and new one are a slightly different size for some reason. The outer races are exactly the same. Weird.
