    7.4L weber carb Jets

    My opinion: Have the same carb on my Rinker and appears I have .104P .098S and the engine has 500 and some hours and Bravo 1. Mine is a 300hp peanut head 7.4L and the plugs looked great. The jets change as the hp and load changes (B3). The .107 might be high if you have same engine, or could...

    2008 3.0 Alpha 1 - suddenly has no power, won't go above 3000rpm

    I would bet your timing is off. Marking the distributer and rotor just gets you in the ball park, you need to set it with a timing light. Your off enough to cause the problems. Also make sure to put it in base timing mode when setting the timing. Timing is set based on your serial number Serial...

    Mercruiser 7.4 MPI Alarm Sounding, but everything seems fine???

    Was a bit in error when first looked. The only engines with two knock sensors and attached to one wire is those with a MEFI-2 ECM. You have a MEFI-3 so you should have the setup listed below. Use an ohm meter and ring out the connections. Since you replaced the one, you could swap it with...

    Boat nearly caught fire... assuming some kind of short

    Wiring go very hot so need to trace the wires and replace as needed. I'm thinking the starter relay and/or wiring is damaged. When key is turned power is applied to relay (No 4) and pulls in the starter. Do some tracing and you should find the issue.

    Backfire through carb, thunderbolt 5

    Back firing is not from a carb issue unless it happens at high rpm. Suggest checking your timing, it should be a 8 BTDC when put in base timing. Base timing is done by connecting the Purple/White wire (no 13) to ground. Connect a jumper to the wire an adjust timing

    MPI 350 flooded??

    The best way to fix it is to disconnect the return line going back to the filter and send it back to the tank. This can be done if you have a return fitting on your tank not being used, or by connection the return line back to the gas fill hose/neck. There are some places which do this work...
