    Get some 3/8 x 16 all thread and cut so they are a inch or so longer then needed. Remove the bolts on the ends of the manifold. Screw in the all thread, then remove the rest of the bolts from the man. Slide the man off the all thread. This way you don't have to hold the man

    Mercruiser 3.0 TKS problem at cold air temperatures

    With motor warmed up, spray some WD40 at the base of the carb and intake to see if the idle changes any. Can also use a small propane torch and let the gas only (don't light) and move it around the gasket area

    Verify compression gauge Do a leak down test Right now your compression is way to high. If your cylinders are actually 150 to 160 except 5 then that would mean 5 is 116. If compression is accurate then need to find out why their to high. This is caused by liquid or carbon build up. If it...

    Compression test results 4.3L V6 2005 what do You think?

    5 is not firing very well and most likely do to low compression 6 the thread being oily might just be because the valve cover is leaking slightly. Don't think its the valve seal because there isn't much of any carbon build up If the choke was not opening all the way "ever" then this can cause...

    The leak down test will tell if its rings or valves for the low compression. You can do it just to 5 but figured doing the test might as well get readings on the rest. The plug doesn't look bad but all show signs of rich

    Then your flooding or other liquid in the cylinders. Compression should not be that high unless motor was rebuilt with high compression parts. If you have a air compressor, check with tank pressure In any case, still leak down

    There is 8 wires that go to the starter? There should be 1 pos and 1 neg going from the battery to the motor. The pos connects to the starter and the neg connects to the block. If there is several going to the starter post then it could be several wires where used where only one of the correct...
