    2009 Mercruiser 4.3l engine wiring diagram

    And you're jumping to the I terminal of the switch (purple wire)? So you should have power to the red/purple on the ignition switch. If so it's either ignition switch or the purple wire (if you have no power to purple with ignition switched on). you need to trace it back to the coil (TB ignition...

    '04 Merc 25hp dead(ish) cylinder

    So I got the flywheel and installed with no change (my torx bit sheared trying to swap the ring gear, so now I've got to drill that out...). I did get the DVA. It was giving me some strange readings before it completely failed, but off the stator I was getting 310v off one wire and 80 off the...

    '04 Merc 25hp dead(ish) cylinder

    Resistance check OK, waiting on the DVA to check voltage output. Ordered a new flywheel since I don't think enough of the magnet is gone to substantially affect the capacitor charging/stator output, but who knows. I thought that the 2 stator wires together put out the charging volts, but if each...

    Ethanol free gas for Mercruiser

    You only have phase separation when too much water gets into the fuel. Ethanol has the ability to absorb some of this water before it separates. E0 can't absorb any water so any water that gets in the fuel is always separate.

    '04 Merc 25hp dead(ish) cylinder

    Carb has been apart so many times... It feels like a fuel problem so it took me a while to isolate to spark. 4 magnet flywheel/red stator.
