    7.4L Overheating

    That would cause some issues but if it did there would most likely be a leak. Look at the hose under the bell housing and gimbal ring. It can twist sometimes when it gets old and will cut off the flow Check the intake hose to make sure its on top of the raw water pump. Comes in on the top...

    7.4L Overheating

    Mine was a Merc OEM impeller, might have been 2 years old. Only thing different I noticed was it was extra hard to get the impeller in the housing. Use Glycerin and as before, it didn't make it to my slip before it over heated. Had another on the shelf, replaced at the dock and this one went...

    Why is fuel leaking from my vapor separator?

    I;m not familiar with your motor, but the my VST didn't have a schrader valve. The Schrader valve was on the fuel rail on my motor. That said, they don't put schrader valves on areas with no pressure, might be the high pressure side

    Why is fuel leaking from my vapor separator?

    Leak stopped at VST and moved to low pressure pump? Would say, fixed the tank leak and have another. Leaking at the pump, fitting or fuel line?

    Why is fuel leaking from my vapor separator?

    A vapor separation tank is like a carb float bowl. A low pressure pump fills the tank and the float inside the tank shuts off the fuel when it gets full. Leaking out the vent means the needle valve has either failed or there is a piece of crud in the valve. Could remove the tank and see if it...

    Don't know which 5.7 motor but will assume it has a carb VP uses 2 diodes (Dumb IMO) which allows power to energize the relay when cranking and ones started, power comes from the alternator to keep it energized. The most likely issue is the ALT diode has shorted. Put a meter on pin 85 of the...

    Stalling, Alarm sounding every 60 seconds

    Thanks, you have a motor with CAT's and its had signaled guardian strategy For 90% power reduction I would look at Engine Coolant Temp (ECT) overheat or Sea water pressure low. Being a CAT motor you really need to have the motor scanned for codes. This can be done by a dealer or by buying the...
