    Mercruiser 4.3 tks

    Going from a 4bbl to a 2bbl will not make the boat run slow. The 2bbl reduction in HP is not that much. The carb leaking gas could cause the reduction in speed. If you do a compression test it will tell the health of the motor

    Mercruiser 4.3 tks

    Not real sure of all the questions your asking, but will try to answer what I think your asking There is nothing wrong with the TKS carb, but could also replace it with a Merc 2bbl or Rochester 2GC carb, and would cost less The ease of getting the broken bolt out all depends on how it broke...

    wiring slave solenoid

    Jump at the starter and get one click, this shows its either the starter, weak battery or bad connections with the battery cables A fully charged battery is 12.7V Reading 12.43 means its still good If cables are clean and tight then you need a starter, or need it rebuilt

    Shifting issues related to electrical wiring

    I'm using the wiring diagram you posted. A motor with points would have one wire from the distributor to the negative side of the coil. There would also be a wire from the same post which would go to the Tach. Your drawing shows a Blk/Gray wire connecting to the same locations Merc and Volvo...

    Shifting issues related to electrical wiring

    Think the Tan/Blk and Blk is for the alarm. It connects to the oil pressure switch and water temp switch. May just be for another switch that is not connected or removed Trouble with shifting is most likely from the ESA module. The module is used to cause a brief firing interrupt so the...

    wiring slave solenoid

    The ground wire may not be there and its ok, because the engine block is also ground Your saying, the solenoid clicks when the key is turned to start, but the starter does not energize? If so the starter may be the issue. Use something and jump from the main starter post to the small terminal...
