    Mercruiser 350 poor performance

    Would have a better idea once we figure out which motor you have. If your running 25 now, then your to low. The 2 to 3 helps when the motor gets closer to WOT. The vacuum in the intake lowers so this is when it needs more fuel

    Mercruiser 350 poor performance

    The vacuum line goes from the intake and Throttle body and is Tee'd into the fuel pressure regulator. The pressure should be 30 psi when key is turned ON and not running and while running. When the vacuum line is removed from the regulator while running the pressure should increase 2 to 3 psi

    Mercruiser MIE 340 454 won't turn over when hot

    All good, and the easy way to have it moved is select the "Report" link in any post. A box will open up and just enter "should be in Merc inboard". All the admins will see and one will move it. Use the same link to report things no good

    Mercruiser 350 poor performance

    Being a 2002 it could have 30 psi (2001 motor in 2002 boat) or 43 psi system. If you can get the part number off the ECM, this would help. It can be a MEFI 1 or 3 and the good thing is a MEFI can be reprogrammed easy. Do you know if fuel pressure is staying up from idle thru WOT? What do the...

    Mercruiser MIE 340 454 won't turn over when hot

    Do they just crank slowly and is there any place where they stop, or almost stop and then continue to crank? How are the batteries? Has cables been cleaned on both ends to shinny metal?

    Velvo penta does on water

    That is where the exhaust exits, but look at the exhaust elbows and pies which lead to the drive. Like the bottom of the Y pipe

    3.0L hard starting when warm

    There is nothing visual you can just look at. The plunger is inside the carb. With the motor running there will be some extra hissing heard if its still opened. The module can be tested by removing and apply 12V and after about 8 minutes it will move out (cold 7/8 full out 1 1/4). If the...

    3.0L hard starting when warm

    No, Motor starts cold, oil pressure builds and connects TKS module to a ground With ground applied the TKS starts to heat up and close off extra fuel After a few minutes the module will close off the extra fuel Once engine temp heats up the temp switch connects module to ground to keep module...

    3.0L hard starting when warm

    One side will always have 12V on it, key ON or OFF. The other side is where it gets turned ON with a ground. Think of it like the switch is on the ground side and not the hot side

    Volvo 5.7 gxi c No Start

    A hard stop like turning the key off, or a hard stop with a clunk. A clunk would mean water in a cylinder or two and might have damage to rods. Don't bother with draining water, I just would like to know IF there is any water in the cylinders.

    3.0L hard starting when warm

    The TKS carb has a module which when the engine warms up, the module closes off the port which gives the motor more fuel. The motor needs more fuel when cold but is flooding when warm. Check the 20 amp fuse, it provides 12V full time. Motor is stated and oil pressure builds which applies a...

    Volvo 5.7 gxi c No Start

    Yes, head gasket, head, block or exhaust manifolds When it died, hope it died gasping or sort of slow and not a rock hard stop. The thing that's puzzling is you have spark and gas down the TB won't even hit once. Not hitting if water is in the cylinder then that can help explain it. A lawn...
