    Mercruiser 140 Points to Delco EST results in low RPM at WOT

    Your probably getting 12V from the Neg side of the coil with key ON. The white/green connects to Gray or connects at the coil. Most likely there are 2 wires on the coil Neg side This is how you should have been wired prior to EST

    Mercruiser 140 Points to Delco EST results in low RPM at WOT

    Depending on what was and was not connected when timing it may have no bearing. You mentioned connecting dizzy to 12V so that part is good. Jumping the 2 whites together

    I just had a Homer Simpson DOH moment With your original points dizzy, the shift interrupter is normally open (NO) and closes to apply a ground to the coil to make the engine Miss. The new dizzy uses NO contact and supplies 12V to the dizzy to make it Miss The new dizzy will need to have the...

    Should only get 12V at pump when float switch is lifted or toggle switch is turned ON. Now if the float switch is creating the ground and not power, then check the ground

    Yes, I have a Gen, Terramite, pressure washer etc and oil looks fine. The FL use to be used to unload a semi with seed a few times a month.

    Mercruiser 3.0 No Spark issues

    power to bildge pump

    The bilge pump should be powered direct from the Bat thru a fuse. Most likely its mis-wired This one shows a pump with a high water alarm switch This is one without and also a light and more like yours I would guess

    With looking at both connectors on the dizzy, remove the one on the right. This is used for base timing and also for shift interrupt
