    Thunderbolt IV ignition question

    No, is just a bit of oil. The seals can be replaced without pulling the head. Need a compressor and a fitting to screw into the cylinder. Rotate the motor around to TDC on the cylinder to be worked on. Hook up an air line to the cylinder and pressurize. Take a valve spring compressor like...

    No spark

    Yes, you can bypass the switch. The fuse should be 20 amp. To keep a 30 amp installed something is going to melt and maybe catch fire. Need to find out what is drawing that much current.

    Need Advice- Carb Back fire

    You want to do it at TDC for that cylinder. Then listen for air escaping and it may tell you straight away that it is the valve(s). You could put oil in straight away but its best to get an over all picture of the cylinder. You could be leaking from more then one area.

    4.3l Alpha 2008 stalling surging rpm oddities

    Yes, Timing is adjustable but not by methods your thinking of. It has a crankshaft position sensor which triggers the coil to fire. The distributor has what most call is a crab cap. The crab (most call it crap) fails without warning, This currently is not your issue, just a foot note...

    84 SeaRay Seville has hard time after 30 minutes

    '06 Volvo Penta 5.0l fuel pump continuously running

    Looks like you have 2 diodes in line (items 16). If they short out it will keep power on the pump. Remove the relay and disconnect the pump, then measure front to back on the diode. It should read high resistance in one direction, and low in the other.

    Power Steering on 7.4GL Gas engine

    Not a VP guy, but if it uses the standard GM pump, the output fitting (pressure regulator) is removed and one stud. Then the Saginaw pump is removed from the housing. Note: the difference between the automotive and marine PS pump is the pressure regulator. So if you get just the pump, need to...

    Mercruiser 5.7 trim up solenoid

    Howdy If you did some testing you would probably find the you either have corrosion, a bad switch or trim limit switch. If the trailer button is working but not the trim up, then the limit switch on the outdrive could be the issue. Does the trailer up button work? Could be you have a bad...
