    350 timing question

    Your dizzy is marine approved but your cap is not. Need a cap without the window The dizzy is a higher performance one which allows for 34 degrees total. Spec shows 30 +/- 2 so you have 2 more then spec. As long as you don't have preignition your good, but your motor also doesn't have a...

    Volvo Penta 3.0 GLP-C will not start

    Start with removing the fuel filter and dump the contents into a clear container. Look for anything that is not clean gas. If that's good look to see if the carb is flooding the motor. How does it do with the first start in the morning? If its not flooding, and gas is clean, then it may be...

    Weird Ignition System Issue

    I'm just not following what your saying. Standard color wires is the major color and then the stripe (Yellow wire with a red stripe is Yellow/Red). Your motor should not have a Red/Yellow so its probably just method of understanding and that's all good. The 1998 5.7 used a electric fuel pump...

    Weird Ignition System Issue

    Ground is the housing of the starter it self. The starter has no wires that are shown or can be seend which go to ground. Suggest, use the voltmeter function trace power. Use a connection to the Negative battery post or engine block On starter top post 12V Should be 12V on both post of the...

    1990 Mercruiser 3.0 DDIS no start

    Correct If your meter is measuring correct then it should work. Have you tried disconnecting the shift interrupter? Also what is the measurement from (a) to ground, pic lower right and it should be open with interrupter connected IMO the best replacement is the Delco EST distributor

    5.0L TKS Component Identification

    Volvo Penta 4.3 GL Won't Crank - No Power to Ignition Switch

    Looking at the Gl diagrams (never said which GL U have) most don't have a 20 amp ignition fuse. They use a 40 amp fuse on the motor. The Red/Purple wire starts at the 50 amp breaker, and then goes thru the 40 amp fuse (item 7). Your fuse may be good but maybe its the connector that holds the fuse

    IGN key doesn’t work

    Been in the water floating and cooling off The solid red comes from the starter post and thru the 90 amp fuse. Since you have no power on the red or red/purple, then the 90 amp fuse blew. In most cases when it blows, a battery cable was put on wrong, there was a short somehow, or most...

    Slave solenoid missing

    Your serial number shows up having the regular slave relay and not the square one 882751. In any case Pin 85 is Ground (small Black wire) and Pin 86 (small Yellow/Red wire) gets 12V from the key when turned to start. Pin 30 is Bat voltage (larger red/purple) and Pin 8y is feed to starter...

    Mercruiser Power Trim Pump

    I'm unable to understand where all the wires go. The pump is the older model Prestolite pump but it still works the same. Not knowing what year your boat is I would say it should be wired as shown with 2 solenoids, not just one
