    Mercruiser 3.0 hard cold start

    The serial number doesn't add up with a 2000 motor, shows 90 to 95 So far as hard starts, you say it cranks slow, so see above comments Might also have incorrect timing

    Mercruiser 3.0 hard cold start

    Slow crank can be: weak battery, corroded Bat cables, starter or motor bearings are seizing after water intrusion Gas in the oil will not make it milky, only water will do that

    4.3 mercruiser tks no start help!!

    Start with look at the fuses (TKS has a 15 or 20 amp fuse on the motor) Then is the man overboard kill switch tripped? Your fuel pump will not prime when key is turned to ON. It runs when cranking coming direct from the starter. Will keep running after oil pressure builds. Since it was...

    Erratic Alarm not starting 2017 60HP 4 Stroke EFI

    Intermittent is always hard to find. The listing about gives you what can cause the long beep. With no past codes I'm thinking a voltage issue. Might just be corrosion

    What prop do I use on a regal lsr 1800 dti Deisel

    Finding motor max WOT is 4000 to 4400 RPM Get a laser Tach and put a piece of reflective tape on the crank pulley or damper. You need to be at the spec rpm at WOT

    Overheating motor

    With large amounts of air, I'm thinking a blown head gasket. I would do compression test first because its easy. If compression checks out even on all cylinders and no wet plugs, then look at the drive pump housing and impeller

    Erratic Alarm not starting 2017 60HP 4 Stroke EFI

    If your not getting the long beep then there would be no code. A dealer G3 scanner should be able to look for past codes, but a Rinda would not be able to. Here is the warning beeps for the EFI

    Mercrusier 350 MAG MPI - RPM issue under a load

    Yes, so it can be put on a stand and connected to the dyno If ECM things the motor is not in-gear it will limit RPM. That said, if this did happen there would be an alarm. So if you get beeps when key is turn to RUN then this would not be the issue Don't recognize NOC I haven't put my...

    What prop do I use on a regal lsr 1800 dti Deisel

    Adjusting the idle-2008 Mercruiser 3.0

    Over many years when the throttle handle gets old the grease inside the control needs to be redone. When this happens using throttle only in the forward direction has enough friction to move the shift cable also. A method to get around it is go throttle only but go to the reverse side. Going...

    3.0GS MBYMCE Exhaust manifold leak

    Shouldn't have any more rust on the exhaust ports then the intake. What's the gap difference between intake and exhaust? Carpenters framing square or other straight edge

    3.0GS MBYMCE Exhaust manifold leak

    Yours may not be alone, but having not heard another case similar to same issue, and not knowing exactly where the crack is, I'm thinking the man is put in a bind. If the head isn't flat within 0.003 then when its fastened there is enough binding/warp transferred to the man. Then the heat cool...

    Mercruiser 8.2 w/Cats & Closed Cooling Question

    Looking at the exhaust for a little while I would say most likely. It needs more review but both the old style and new all use the drain tubes Look thru the link and select each serial number series. Then select "raw water port" and "raw water starboard". Looking thru the hose connections...

    2004 Volvo Penta 3.0L engine knocking

    A motor knocks when a rod bearing spins of is damaged. In many cases its because the the journal was not machined correctly. I'm working on a Merc Reman 454 that has less then 100 hours. The motor needs to be rebuilt and in most cases (depends on motor hours) it just take the crank to be...
