    '09 5.0 TKS (Carb) not running

    Starter or pump is drawing to much current or pur/yel is shorting out Disconnect pur/yel from starter then jumper oil switch to get it to run. It should run without the jumper once started but find out if still gets hot

    '09 5.0 TKS (Carb) not running

    Probably no 12V power going to the motor. By jumping the fuel pump directly it would back feed the the motor. Being a carb once the fuel bowl is filled the motor would keep running until the fuel ran out. When you disconnect power from the pump it dies right away because it also removed power...

    Bravo drive is hard to shift into reverse?

    While getting a new upper will fix the issue, some mechanics say to replace because they are not skilled enough or don't want to spend the time. Replacing the gear, upper shift shaft and clutch should fix the drive. Note: some shops use lube other then Merc lube because its cheaper. If they...

    Mercruiser 3.0 TKI engine crank half time - never starts

    That's a messy wiring diagram. The ACR is not connected directly to the Bats, but shows it does connect to each and thru switch. The ACR should be direct connect without switches. The trim should be connected to the start Bat With the house Bat not being charged thru the ACR while motor is...

    Need Help on 5.8fsi Couple of Issues

    While it hasn't been verified I would believe its electrical. Fuel pressure should have been maintained by hot wiring. As to what's causing it to stop, nothing is giving a clue. Don't know enough about the system and don't have a manual. Just found the manual in DonS post at 4shared, I'm...

    7.4mpi just started running rough and with gas coming out exhaust

    yep it was right there The issue of black plugs on one side and white on the other is just weird, unless someone has moved the injector connectors so this would happen. If that's the case, then I would expect this is a ECM issue or a bad connection

    Starting issue

    Haven't found a way to lube cables, but most time its the shifter. They can be taken apart and greased

    7.4mpi just started running rough and with gas coming out exhaust

    Don't think its either Check fuel pressure. The mefi 1 and 2 has very little smarts. It can show if there is a code, but usually does not provide enough info to designate what the actual problem is Of fuel pressure is high. This can indicate that maybe some if injectors are leaking. Testing...

    Very doubtful you can find good used parts and new are not available. Those items are normally made by by using old parts and making new. Then re-upholster them

    Starting issue

    One thing I left out is the neutral safety switch in the throttle handle. Turn key to start and hold, then move the throttle back and forth slightly to see if it engages

    Mercruiser 7.4 Dipstick Tube Broke, Can't Remove Oil Pan

    Looking a bit longer, I can see the tube has been bent over to the other side. The windage tray is also being bent. The tube bent over against the tray is what's keeping it from coming out. I would try to drill it out If that fails post something in the wanted section of Offshore only...

    2003 Mercrusier 5.7 350Mag MPI vs. 2001 Mercrusier 5.7 EFI?

    Get which ever one was better taken care of. MPI is better preforming but TBI is nothing to look past. What we all want is a motor we don't have to fix very often. So far as gas, they will both use a lot, MPI a bit less if its working correctly but not much

    Making sure I purchased the correct coil for a 1996 5.7L

    The 3rd wire goes anywhere it can be grounded. Can even use 1 of the 3 screws that hold the body of the electric choke, or anything else that is grounded

    2007 4.3 Trim relay clicks, no start.

    Agree, if its open or has a bad connection. The NS switch connects the yellow/red wire from the start side of the key switch thru the NNS to the start relay. The switch closes when in neutral so its safe to start
