    Mercruiser Alpha One Gen One Overheating

    It might be a gauge issue and not an overheat problem. Your temp gauge has a sender in the thermostat housing, suggest getting an IR temp gun and measure the temp at the housing and compare with the gauge

    Alpha One gen2 steering slop (video)

    It appears to me that you have way to much play in the ram. When the cable moves the place where the nut is attached should not move. Appears at the far end on it and set screw of pin is missing or the set screw is not tight. The cylinder tube should not move, The tube is sliding and rubbing...

    New 3.0l almost ready for first start...

    Kind of sort of No, to modify the timing pigtail to a running one, is after timing is set, cut the wire that is currently looped. Then remove the black wire from ground and connect to one side of the shift interrupter switch. If you ever need to recheck timing, connect the loop wire together...

    The plug in the right side of the distributer is the timing plug, and is only used to set timing. It can be used if modified to be used for regular running if needed. To set timing the way it is currently shown, the black lead is connect to ground for setting timing. To place in run mode the...

    It doesn't look right. The VSR leads should have one each of the wires going to each positive on each battery

    Trouble Code 0336 with new motor

    Found a source of the GI wiring but it shows the EST distributor and not the HVS. With that I don't see how it can be correct. It shows pin J2-32 with a Purple/White wire which feeds the coil and the injectors. Also has 2 relays, one main power and the other is fuel pump.

    No HIgh pressure schrader valve Vp GSI ??

    Not a VP guy but I have never seen a shrader valve on a motor with TBI, only MPI. You would need to use a fitting like the Merc 91-806901

    5.0 surge and stop, fuel or spark or what?

    When it starts to stumble look down the throat of the carb and see if its flooding (probably isn't just checking). If not flooding I would suggest putting a fuel pressure gauge connected at the carb. Need to make up a Tee fitting with connectors and fuel line, or use a adapter fitting and...
