    Trouble Code 0336 with new motor

    I'm thinking you may have just found your problem. Won't get to excited yet, but a man overboard safety switch should kill the motor, and the only way to do that is remove power to the coil (in most cases). I'm a Merc guy and not VP, but this is pretty simple stuff to do, so thinking they...

    USCG Documentation SCAM Site

    Not sure if this has been posted here by just FYI There is a site that has been scamming folks out of money looming like the USCG. They make it look legit and they will renew your documentation for 75 when it actually cost 29. I think its also being helped out by google with dead links. If you...

    1998 Mercruiser 5.7 EFI fuel leak

    It will be a pain. The bracket that holds the entire cool fuel is bolted to the motor mount. There are two nuts one on each side. Remove the hoses. The fuel lines need to be removed from the pump, and the cooler. The pump end is threaded, the cooler end has a socket head screw pin (item 9) which...

    Signs of a failing Oil Pressure Switch

    I think you have either a key switch that is not making a positive connection, a 10 pin connector with connection issues and /or in conjunction with a oil pressure switch that is intermittently making connection. The oil pressure switch passes 12V and the ground is always there.

    Changed 2012 Volvo 5.0 to 5.7 will not idle

    Contacted Bob myself to get the low down so if anyone else passes by the thread they can read. He says the EGC's are made by E-controls and he knows of no one which works on them.

    Motor running low on rpm's

    Howdy Need to know what your fuel pressure is. Will need to get an adapter to put in line at the TB to measure, something like this which is Merc 91-806901 and a gauge which measures at least 100 psi. Gauges can be borrowed from the local autoparts stores in most cases

    Carburetor Port

    The glass thing appears to be called a sight glass (item 9). Appears to be used prior to using clear tubing. http://www.mercruiserparts.com/bam/subassembly/31737/990/30 If it was mine, I would remove the sight glass and install a barbed fitting with tubing going to the carb.
