    Mercruiser 3.0 MPI ignition timing.

    Looking thru Brunswick. the only manual is the operations manual which is free. Its free because it has nothing in it to help. Also states timing is non-adjustable. Looking at Merc site it list operations, parts and brochures, but no service manual

    Mercruiser 3.0 MPI ignition timing.

    Agree, only issue is the ECM can only adjust so far. With the V6 and V8 the distributor has a install method to get it real close. Without knowing the install or setup, anything is possible

    Mercruiser 3.0 MPI ignition timing.

    Being a 3.0 MPI it should be a CAT motor. This would mean it has a Delco EST distributor. A serial number would verify The hard part is I don't know of anyone which has the manual for the motor. Being an EST it should list what timing is set at on the cover. IS there something there?

    Need More Bling

    Got a new truck last month (already put 4500 miles on it :poop:) but just not liking all the black. Long story short, dealer used stock photos instead of actual photos. The short of it, I do like the way it rides but not all the black out, its a Night Edition. Has 20 inch wheels, and I...

    Chris Craft Volvo Penta 4.3 Ignition does not turn engine over

    Most kill switches turn power off to the gauges and motor, but does not kill power to the start relay. In short, motor will crank, just not start. The start circuit goes from the key yellow/red wire, thru the neutral safety switch, to the start relay. Turn key to start and move the throttle...

    Does anyone know what this is? Volvo Penta aq125a

    That's a ballast resistor, and its used with points. When cranking 12V bypasses the resistor and goes straight to the coil. Once it starts, power goes thru the resistor to save the points In later years they used a resistor wire

    Carb or worse?

    150 is for a new motor. Needs at least 100 to run at all. Worn motor in the 135 to 140 would be good. Best to check readings after motor is warmed up, but even cold should get close Exhaust manifold gasket will make it loud but their would be no reduction in power.

    Carb or worse?

    That is really bad for a reading, it needs to be much closer to 150 psi Your digging and finding the issues, go Krsowles (y)

    Engine alignment

    I'll put it this way It was great, easy in/out, then after tightening the top nut it got tighter. Figure a 300 pound motor sitting on a motor mount should be down. Tightening a top nut on a mount should not move the motor, but since it did, then something isn't right. One side is not as high...

    Mercruiser missing at around 2000 - 3000 rpm (350 mag mpi 2004)

    Your parts changer (so called mechanic) is costing you a lot. Appears there not even doing any testing, just changing parts. If the injectors came from ebay, there most likely junk. If they are Merc injectors then Ouch, that cost a lot. This is the puzzler. Changed cap and plugs and runs...
