    Cooling system for Volvo Diesle MD17C

    Howdy If this is a raw water cooled motor then I don't see a vent/bleed screw. If it is closed cooling then there could be on the antifreeze side. There are two bleed screws for the fuel system which are used when the filters are changed, or it runs out of fuel. What caused the initial...

    Closed Cooling System on Port Engine Running Hot(ter)

    The 4 holes on the top of the rail are used to bolt the rail to the manifold. The injectors use clips and gaskets to hold them in place on the rail. The gaskets on the injector ends seal the injector to the intake. The ports are there and resemble the bolt holes. These intakes are great for...

    Intermittent No Start - 2002 5.7L MPI After Sitting Warm

    That's the booster pump check valve fix. Any a lot of cases it does work, so long as you still let it idle a bit to cool down after a run. The theory is to keep the pressure up so it takes more heat for the fuel to boil. The check valve is to keep the pressure in, once built up to remain...

    Bravo 3 outer prop is gone along with the shaft. How can this happen?

    The snap ring on the inner prop shaft came off. Look at page 3D-6 in the link BT supplied. The inner shaft is slide in from the inside out. For the shaft and prop to be missing, the shaft snapped in half. To remove the shaft the carrier is removed then the retainer nut, then both shafts are...

    Mercruiser 7.4MPI Stuttering/Skipping after long runs

    The cap should be able to vent the air into the tank. There are several different designs other then the pic below. The cap should allow air in. Now if the tank end is clogged this to will cause an issue. Suggest removing the vent line and blowing sir thru it to see if it is clear.

    2007 Merc I/O Seems In Limp Mode

    I'm thinking the knock sensor or module. Look on the side of the block near the motor mount for the sensor. Can be part of the block drain when a Y fitting is used

    2001 5.7L Mercruiser misfires around 3200 rpm when decelerating under load

    Your SN is for manual 24 Need to check fuel pressure, it should be 30 psi at 1800 rpm. Going to need a high pressure gauge 0-100 recommended, and an adapter to connect gauge at throttle body by removing fuel line. Should be able to get this at most auto stores (standard GM connector). Merc...

    No spark on DDIS ignition, moving to wiring harness

    No 12V at the amp or harness feeding amp. Have 12V at the ALT and 10V at the choke, but not a big issue if only 10V, but may be part of the issue. Full 12V at the ALT means you are getting power to the harness. All the purple wires are spliced together inside the harness, so you have a break in...

    Mercruiser 5.0 not getting enough fuel

    Can you give the motor more throttle and keep it running at higher rpm? If so and it starts and dies at idle, then it may just be the Idle Air Control (IAC) valve. Now if it will die also with giving gas Then I would suggest a fuel pressure test. Need an adapter for the TBI p/n 91-806901 or...

    Sticky ignition?

    The possibilities are the key switch, slave solenoid/relay, neutral safety switch, or bad connection. If your hearing a click but nothing happens then this would leave the key switch out of the mix. Your year motor could have a relay or slave solenoid which powers the starter. If you have...

    Mercruiser 5.0 not getting enough fuel

    Thanks for the SN The wiring looks good, how about the fuel lines coming from the fuel filter to the pump. The fuel line had to be removed to replace the gasket, so it could be that the pump is sucking air. Suggest removing the line where ever the line was removed and check the seal. Another...

    Mercruiser 5.7 Whining Noise - Intermittent and Independent of rpm

    If the boats fuel pressure is reduced, your motor may run lean. A lean running motor will destroy it self over time. If the pump is OK but having trouble getting fuel due to a restriction in the line, a fitting or fuel filter, given enough time the pump will be damaged. Yes, changing the...

    Closed Cooling System on Port Engine Running Hot(ter)

    1) Took a look at my fuel rail a few minutes ago, mine has been changed when the repower was done. I'm going to guess the plug is 1/8 NPT, but just guessing. They do make male- NPT to shrader. Also had a look at my old VST and you should also be able to use the same fitting for the EFI's. Maybe...
