    Merc. 5.7 Repower wiring

    Not sure what relay you got or what wire you're talking about. Standard 5 terminal relay you just don't use the 87a terminal. You can solder the wires together, just limit current to whatever the smallest wire can handle. For the relay, terminals 87 and 30 are connected when energized, so one of...

    Repair Y Pipe Possible?

    PayPal is owned by eBay, so you're dealing with the same system fwiw. And I've done a lot of eBay commerce and have always come out whole

    Just curious as to what you guys use to heat. I've never had a ton of luck using regular propane/mapp torches

    Will carport help mold/mildew issues?

    I store mine with a simple cover with the sides partially open. I can get some rain spray in there i guess if it's really blowing, but nothing significant. Never had an issue with mildew.

    That's practically nothing. I'm at around 10ppt and see *far* less salt water effects than the ocean.

    It isn't, unless you're bringing it in from outside (rain, wet people, etc)

    Exhaust Elbow Fit Problem

    I ran into this problem as well. Scoured the web and found people that only used those 3 holes without issue, so I did the same. No leaks after 1.5 years...

    Exhaust Elbow Fit Problem

    Is the issue that only 3 of the bolts will mate with the housing, or does it not fit at all?

    Old ford 302 no spark

    Please answer each of my questions specifically...Your descriptions haven't been clear, and still aren't to me. There is a fat orange wire and fat yellow wire on the solenoid. That far left terminal on the solenoid (when looking at your pic) is not a ground stud. I'm not sure what pic #1 is of...

    Old ford 302 no spark

    Well, now I'm thoroughly confused. Your first pic of an orange wire with black wires--that's the starter or something else? 1. Orange wire on your solenoid. Where does it go? And is that the only orange wire? 1a. There's a red wire on that terminal. Where does it go? Is it the only red wire in...

    Then it's wired wrong. That orange wire should go to the battery positive. The small red wire should be on the battery side of the solenoid (I edited my above post which said starter side) and powers your ignition. Where does your battery positive wire go? There shouldn't be a ground wire on the...

    Old ford 302 no spark

    I think you mean left to right ... What ground cable? Shouldn't be one off the solenoid. And can't tell from the pics but there should only be one red wire, on the battery side of the solenoid. And what are those black wires on the starter?

    Left to right isn't much help. Need to know which wire goes to which terminal

    What is this in my drive oil reservoir

    Probably not into the drive unless you had a bad input shaft seal, but definitely into the bellows. You need to pull the drive ASAP and check out the u-joints, gimble bearing, etc

    Old ford 302 no spark

    Did you take note of @kenny nunez post? It looks like you got a non-grounded solenoid. Guessing it isn't wired correctly, as it won't work right if you wired it according to the diagram. How do you have it wired?

    Not starting, but it supplies the voltage to the coil when key on/running

    Old ford 302 no spark

    You'll have to be a bit more specific, but the wire from the choke to the coil should be a resistor wire that will get hot. You'll get less than 12v to the coil exterior when cranking. Looks like a tan wire from the solenoid supplies the full 12v only when cranking. The wiring looks a bit...

    Yes, we need to get away from coal. Assume that's the point you're trying to make

    You're missing that an electric motor is inherently more efficient than an ICE. also transmission is electricity is easier than using more fossil fuels to transport gas
