    Solar Power Installation . . .

    Before going for another isolator, make sure the ALT's actually charge all of the banks. I'm thinking maybe they might not charge the inverter Bats

    Bought a new long block and wondering about the coupling and gimbal bearing.

    Two filters will help with keeping fuel clean but also can cause the pump to work harder. Many folks like the Racor see thru drainable filters but they are not allowed on a gas motor, diesel ok and Outboards. Have you tried opening the gas cap when it dies to see if your drawing a vacuum on...

    Mercruiser Vapor Lock Kit Install

    The booster pump was installed on early Gen cool fuel. This was done to help keep more fuel pressure feeding the cool fuel pump. Original cool fuel only used the one pump. The VST is feed by the mechanical pump so no need to add booster. The Mech pump is doing the same thing. The issue is...

    2001 Mercruiser 5.7 EFI No WOT Under Load

    Compression tells if the motor is healthy. New motor should be 150 psi, as it wears it can get lower. The lower pressure gets the less HP the motor has. Test will not show if there is a clogged exhaust You mentioned one motor gets warmer then the other which can mean it has a blown head gasket

    Trim pump

    The trim fluid should stay at the same level if the drive is full up or down. The pump just moves fluid from one side to the other. With you going full up and its at Min then you need more fluid

    Mercrusier 350 MAG MPI - RPM issue under a load

    Those are iridium plugs and don't try to adjust, the thin coating will crack You have the correct plugs for the motor Advance is good You have done everything correct. It should be producing enough power if it was rebuilt correctly. Don't think I asked this before, but look for the casting...

    Mercruiser ECM replacement?

    Replaced the wires and plugs and it runs better, great As mentioned in post 21, Ebay injectors in most cases are junk. Ebay sells old junk injectors as new/rebuilt. Your still flooding and you need new injectors

    Mercruiser Vapor Lock Kit Install

    Yes your motor has a VST (vapor separation tank) Your mechanical belt driven fuel pump is keeping the tank filled but the fuel rail is is heating up and vapor is building. You could bleed the fuel rail each time it does it to get going, but that puts a gas soaked rag in the boat Your motor...

    Mercruiser Vapor Lock Kit Install

    No, that's not what it does or how to connect My original motor was a 502 with VST and did VL. The Merc is a boost pump which is installed after the fuel filter and before the Gen 2 high pressure pump. There is no fix for the VST, and as to what is actually happening a boost pump before the...
