    Mercruiser 2011 3.0 TKS issue

    If it's just the float level is set to high then a change will fix the issue If you open the carb to check float level and find some crud, then rebuild, otherwise maybe not unless there are other issues

    No compression with rocker arms torqued

    Don't have a clear understanding of the status or the motor. Old cam may have had issues and heads may have been redone, and if so measure valve steam height to see if it's within spec. If valve is to high due to incorrect seat install, seat and valve ground below spec the height will be to high

    Random no crank on 5.0

    Yes it could be the key switch, Pre 2000 use to last forever, new ones not so mush. Only 2 ways to know if it's bad, replace and see if it never does it again, or use a meter when it's not starting and measure voltages

    Merc 5.7 hydraulic lifter enigma

    I'm no expert but there might not be a real problem. The lifter is working because no sign of valve not opening/closing correctly. One or more push rods not getting same amount of oil may not be an issue so long as it gets some. Gets some more from other rockers splashing oil on it

    2000 Mercruiser 5.0 Thunderbolt 5 Ignition idle issue.

    Only if it's adjusted to far, if set correctly there will be no issue It's a metal coil spring sort of thing. When temps get colder the metal shrinks pulling the choke closed. The colder it gets the more it shrinks. Same thing happens in reverse when temps get warmer.

    2004 Mercruiser 3.0 Aplha One won’t start

    Being a 2004 (no serial number) I'm assuming EST Dizzy If you didn't actually recheck rotor, do that. If rotor was not installed all the way down the blade would hit one of the cap contacts and break or move it out of position Next check for 12V at the coil (pink or purple wire) with key ON
