    Shift/throttle cables - difference in lengths?

    Cable lengths do not matter so long as they reach. A cable 10ft will move the inner core the same amount as a 20 ft cable. Can be longer to make it easier or short to keep it compact. Bend radius is the main thing to consider

    Merc 350 Mag fuel problem

    Isn't what I asked Only a carb motor "may" benifit if the throttle is pumped, you do not have a carb motor. Since there is an issue with the restart then it may be the IAC (Idle Air Control) valve. Put throttle in "throttle only mode", and move it forward only about an inh or so. Do not move...

    Electric fuel pump wiring issue

    I started watching the vid but its 15 minutes long. It appears he is doing it correct, but that said It does run once started That being the case, all that is needed is a wire from the outside post on the starter (purple/yellow wire in pic) to the hot side of the fuel pump. Doing this applies...

    Overheating

    Assuming umbrella type seals The valve seals should fit the stems and guides. If they are to big that's not good. If they are to small where it doesn't cover the guide is also not good
