    Engine starts and stops after emergency shutoff got hit

    As before, good plan to replace the pump but would be best to test before. Your motor has two circuits which turns on the fuel pump, first turns it on while cranking the motor. During the cranking process the oil pressure switch is bypassed. After the motor starts, oil pressure increases and...

    2001 Mercruiser 305 Rochester 2-barrel Vacuum leak?

    Howdy You clean it 3 or 4 times yet one of the idle screws has no effect, but add mor fuel to the port side and it picks up. Tells be the idle circuit is still dirty. As for the falling on its face, this is the accelerator pump issue in combination of not enough fuel on the port side. Most...

    Mercruiser 3.0 LX Overhaul Gasket set needed

    What I have found so far is the manifold gaskets are different. Most of the gasket sets also include the intake and exhaust sets. The engine block is the same Exp Manifold gasket LX 27-815528, L 27-96429. Front end cap is different for the two also.

    There is nothing better then upload to iboats. The reason being if it is linked to another site the pics can have connection issues. If you upload then there are none. That said they do need to be no more then 2MB

    power steering pump leak

    Been looking around and I believe this is the GM Type 2 Saginaw PS pump. Uses a 5/8 return line and 16MM x 1.5 inlet fitting. The inlet fitting is removable and if it's like the Type 1 Saginaw pump, the difference is that fitting. The Type 1 pump fitting increases the output pressure. Manual 30...

    Merc Type 2 Power Steering Pump

    In discussion in another thread I got to researching the issue with the GM Type 2 Saginaw PS pump with remote tank. Unable to find a cross over for the Merc P/N 806230T, just using pics and current specs for the two models found. If the Type 2 is anything left the Type 1 in reference to...

    The New and Imporved Mercruiser Diverter Valve, will never crack!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Yours is probably one designed to mount vertical to drain. In any case you could cut the hose and install a Tee. They are made to install after the sea water pump for winterization (have one on mine). Sorry BT if were hijacking, last post just for info.

    Bravo Gear Ratio - 5.7L vs 7.4L

    Here are the standard ratios They probably will work but may need to change props depending. May even be the same ratio, might just pull them both and crank them over for counting

    Port&Starboard lights YES, stern Light NO

    Need to check for 12V on both sides of the center poles of the switch. My guess is its there because the Nav lights work. Then flip switch to anchor and check that you still have power for the anchor light. The anchor light jumper is on the bottom left to top right - green dots

    timing not advancing, unique issue, ideas please

    With timing at 10 BTDC means you have the TB-V module. The TB-V module provides 10 to 15 degrees (depends on module) of timing advance from base timing, and IMO your module is working correctly. Base timing mode does not eliminate the knock sensor, it keeps the motor at zero advance during the...

    1995 454 gen 5 - piston replacement

    You could probably go to a junk yard and find a piston. IMO you need to bore the motor, look at the difference in piston gap, it appears (to me) the bore has dished out on the bottom. There is a difference side to side. maybe it's just the pic

    My first experience with hydrolock

    There is a slave solenoid on top the motor. It has four wires on it, you want to jump across the two large terminals on top. Once lumped the starter should engage and crank the motor.

    72 Thunderbird Formula w/twin 165hp Mercs

    Not sure, been looking around but, this might be one of those Homer Simpson Doh moments. I think you should find a shorter belt and run it from the water pump pulley to the ALT, don't go around the crankshaft.
