    B3 delayed shift

    Don't see anything getting damaged inside the drive when shifting with motor stopped. I think its slop in the cable and jacket. The inner cable will wear a slot into the outer jacket, and the Bravo shift mechanism doesn't move much. The only things I can see that could wear inside and cause...

    350 5.7 TBI Throttle Cable Issue

    I would suggest first checking the sync of the throttle handle. Thinking you have bravo drives, place the control in neutral. Next remove the shift cable from the plate (top one). Now push the cable forward and mark cable, next pull it to the rear and mark the cable. Now mark the middle...

    Mercruiser 4.3 EFI Gen+ TBI

    I don't have the V6 wiring but do have the V8 which is the same in your case. You have a MEFI 3 ECM with a TB-V distributer. Power to the coil comes from the main power relay, and power to the distributer comes from the ECM. If you remove the sensor wires in the distributer the resistance...

    B3 delayed shift

    The movement uses a sliding clutch, one of the best in the business. Your getting the jump in gear because either the throttle control handle is not adjusted correctly, or there is slop in the cable. The Bravo is real smooth when adjust correctly and the throttle control is moving the correct...

    Intermittent Overheat 4.3 MPI Closed system?

    The wear plate comes as part of a kit for the Gen 7 pump. Its a stainless plate and gasket to place against housing. Don't know of a fix for the inside of the pump. It still gets me why they even went with that style pump, lots of folks are having trouble with them. The style pump does...

    Finding the exact wiring diagram for the 8.1 is going to hard. I've been looking for a while and nothing so far. Do have the this one which is an earlier model but do think the start circuit is pretty close.

    Help, Cant' locate replacement fuel pressure regulator 5.7LX EFI

    Merc had some real issues with the VST setup. Both the early MPI and TBI has the regulator made as part of the fuel rail and TBI. When cool fuel came out the regulator remained in the TBI but no longer regulated pressure. Another regulator was added to the cool fuel module and a vacuum line...

    1998 Volvo Penta 5.7GSi High Idling Issue

    I'm not a VP guy just trying to help until one of those guys come around. Not all but many times when the IAC is unplugged the idle will increase because some require a voltage to close the valve, otherwise its all open. If this is the case for your motor then I would suggest checking to see...

    Mercury 350 magnum problems please help

    Could be, but could also be the regulator is defective. You could test it without the motor running. Block off the return line coming from the fuel regulator going to the filter. Turn key ON and watch pressure. Turn it ON and OFF a couple times to see if pressure comes up. It should...

    mercruiser carb

    Either the internal passages are still clogged or the accelerator pump isn't working or adjusted correctly. If you can very slowly increase speed and get it going, then its the accelerator pump or circuit. If not much is working then it could be the carb, float, cleaning or adjustments. The...

    No power to ignition switch, other electrical still works

    You might have blown the 90amp fuse on top the starter. In any case your going to need a volt meter to see where voltage is not. Suggest starting with the 90amp fuse (item h)

    mercruiser carb

    Don't have a Merc carb view but plugs in a carb are used to close up manufacturing holes. The carb base is fist cast in a mold, then the casting has channels bored into it to pass fuel for the jets and accelerator pump. The channels cannot be bored any other way do to their size. With your...

    7.4 mpi no power

    The fuel pressure is a tad low (43) bit should run better if this was the only issue. I would suggest checking for codes. You can either have it scanned (easiest) or build one with a paper clip and an led with a built in resistor. Turn key to ON (do not start) and install clip and led. You...

    where do my trim sender wires go?

    You should have a Brown/White and solid Black wire near the rear of the motor. The Blk is ground and the Brn/Wht goes thru the engine 10 pin main connector plug. It makes no difference which wire goes to which wire on the harness. Here is how the transom goes together

    Lower unit oil reservoir on Alpha Gen 1

    It will work, this is the same setup Merc started to use before changing the transom plate to accommodate the lube bottle. Appears to just be missing the bracket to hold the line. There has been other threads of installing one, but I know of none which have come back with what they did
