    Mercruiser 5.0 MPI 2013. Crank but no start.

    Have you scanned for codes or is it from smartcraft display? Have a serial number? You say MOB activated, meaning its not active as in open, right? Said its a gremlin, does this mean it does every once in a while or its broke and it does not work at all?

    Mercruiser 3.0 est distributor problem

    The balancer mark comes up on #1 and #4 with a 4 cycle motor. Shutting the motor down and rotate until the mark shows up, is just a 50/50 shot as to which one comes up. Are you jumping the 2 white wires together on the shunt?

    Mercruiser 3.0 est distributor problem

    It might be pointing at #1 but not knowing where the cam is at, it could actually be at #4 If its backfiring and turning the distributor a slight bit in either direction does not make it stop and start running, then most likely its 180* out My previous comment is to make sure its actually on...

    Mercruiser 3.0 est distributor problem

    If it back fires then it may be 180* out, or needs to be just slightly more adjusted. Put a cork or your thumb over #1 plug hole. Bump the motor over until the pressure pushes the cork out. This is #1 cylinder TDC, install the distributor

    The old 305 is a non-vortec motor and timing will be at 8* BTDC The plugs were the wrong ones and should be MR43T which are marine type

    Generac Generator 17kw Guardian Series- runs constantly

    Before you swap the fuses, remove and check each one with a meter on the ohms scale. Need to find out IF one is blown. If one is blown then you need to find out what caused it to blow. That needs to be fixed before installing another fuse because it will just blow again. It really sounds...

    Cracked spark plug porcelain-timing?

    Could be the plugs had a factory defect, don't know but its very unusual for it to crack on its own Setting timing 4* further advance then spec may work out, but I wouldn't even try it without a working knock sensor.

    Plug gap and Compression

    If your gauge is accurate then the compression is low, should be closer to 150 Having 6 of 8 at the pressure is worst if the other 2 are even lower

    Replace or Repair, where to start?

    Lets go back to post 12 You said If the shift shaft is rotated full CCW and its facing straight forward toward the bow then your good. Now your saying shift shaft is CW and the prop locks CCW

    Carter Fuel pump

    The best way to get help is tell us what motor, and serial numbers are best. Seeing the 3035 I'm finding the new VP part number is 826493 and in most cases its used on a 3.0L. Might be also able to use a Merc 3.0 pump, but then again need to know what your working on. Could also be a Sierra...

    Replace or Repair, where to start?

    May need to understand what spins freely is? If shift shaft is rotated full CCW then the prop will turn CW without the drive shaft turning, but you should hear and feel a click, click, click as the prop rotates

    Merc 4.3l timing question, BTDC mark

    The 10 is BTDC and the 6 on the left is ATDC The motor is standard left hand rotation and that is determined facing the flywheel, so facing the motor it rotates clockwise (RH). The 10 comes up before TDC

    Thunderbolt IV Ignition Module

    Put a new one in, didn't know that My thought process is the ignition module opens and closes the circuit. Since a new one was installed and the same thing happened, it could very well be the module. Have not seen one doing what yours is doing. All others are either spark or no spark
