    Need hard plastic glue

    Couple years ago I replaced my trim switches and then glued a new cover (item 5) on using PVC medium strength glue, or at least that is how I remember it. The switches never fit just right so today I used a heat gun and pocket knife and took the cover off. Pulled switches and space (item 8)...

    1984 228 305 alternator over charging

    Your Red/Purple or Orange (guessing the Red/Purple) wire is not making a connection. With key OFF you should see 12V on the Orange and the Red/Purple wires. With key ON power should be on the Purple wire. If the Red/Purple wire is disconnected, the voltage will spike

    Thunderbolt IV ==> Thunderbolt V?

    Yes, you can remove the TB-IV and install the TB-V, but you also need a knock module. The issue so far is not sure as there is a knock sensor been made for a V6. Not saying there isn't but will keep looking. Now that said, you can also wire up the TB-V in place where the IV was, but...

    350 Mag Overheating

    You bring you a very good point. If the check balls are allowing water to pass thru going into the manifold, then there would not be as much water available for the block, which would cause over heat. Pull it apart and see if they move feely

    8.1 GXiE Engine Only Runs WOT

    Without a scanner I would check fuel pressure. Your IAT is located on the intake as item 2 in link an the Merc part number 805223T (I know yours is a VP). Don't see the IAT as being the problem. Adding a resistor to the ECT would tell the PCM that it is even colder so it needs more fuel...

    Volvo Penta Stalling and alarm location

    I think your measuring pressure at the low pressure pump. You should also have a Vapor Separation Tank (VST) which contains the high pressure pump. To read the HP pump, you need a fitting to place in line at the TB...

    High Idle on 5.7 Volvo Penta

    Really need to read codes Faster idle can be from the TPS sending the wrong voltage to the ECM. It has 3 wires on it, 5V, Gnd and Reference. Should be a Orange/Blue wire which supplies reference to the ECM. At idle this voltage should be near zero (0.5V)

    Volvo Penta Stalling and alarm location

    There is another poster which asked the same question, so I will answer it this way. The LK series manual does show 13 +/- 2 psi for TBI. That said, it would not be the first time that there was a typo in a manual. The TBI is a GM designed unit which was used by Merc and VP. All the GM and Merc...

    The coil gets tested using the ohm scale as in the link above. Center post to - should be 6000 to 15000 ohms From + to - should be .4 to 2 ohms The battery when taken off a charger will be above 12.7 for a while. Another thing that can show higher then normal is the accuracy of the meter...

    Adding a battery, what else..

    Yes your ALT can handle it but also suggest adding a automatic charge relay (ACR. The ACR will automatically charge the second bat without flipping the switch. The switch can still be used to combine bats if needed to start

    Mercruiser spark knock issue

    At an auto store get some fuel line, fittings and a Tee. Remove the hard fuel line and make it up in rubber to measure pressure. Either that or get a fitting linke Mercs 91-18078
