    Mag 350 MPI alarm problems

    Codes don't go away automatically, need to have them cleared. You either need a scanner or been told you can clear it with the following method (haven't tried it yet). Turn ignition on (don't start), put a paper clip between points A and B on the DLC, move throttle handle to full forward...

    4.3 Merc Running too cold at speed

    I take it since you have a 160 thermostat then your serial number is above 0L341000 and looks like the one on the right. Did you buy a Merc or off brand thermostat?

    Hard starting after running

    The choke plate is the plate that closes down when the engine is cold, it should be full open when warm. In the pic below this is a 4 barrel but the plate in the fore front is the choke. Need to find out if your loosing spark. If you have a timing light bring it with you and connect it on the...

    Upgrading 65A Alternator to a 130A

    You could keep it like it is and wait and see if the breaker will blow. If the breaker blows then you need to bypass it and use larger wire. While the ALT can put out more amps, it will only do this if the battery needs it. So if the breaker never blows your OK. If you do need to replace it you...

    Upgrading 65A Alternator to a 130A

    While I do see a difference I don't see how it can be a catastrophic failure. Goes from the ALT output to the circuit breaker, then a direct connection to the starter. So the issue is the same and there is not a 90amp fuse, and it does connect to "one" side of the assist solenoid, it does go...

    Upgrading 65A Alternator to a 130A

    Your purple wire goes is your exciter for the field winding of the ALT. All of the purple wires on your motor go hot when the key is turned to on. The ALT output goes directly back to the battery via the starter connection. Here is how Merc does it and VP does it the same way. Look for the...

    Rule float switch hanging

    My new rule float switch is hanging. Boat had a gas leak on my cool fuel module from a line not put on correctly. After cleaning up the gas an fixing the leak, the float will not move real easy. I would just replace it again but its under the engine and getting to it will be a bi**h. I can...

    454/502 knock sensor

    Need to buy another knock sensor. Listing shows 805544T as being superseded by 8M0077616. The issue is the older part is much easier to find and cost a bit less, so guess the question; Is the new one better then the older model?

    1970 something Chrysler 105

    Started looking at the Chrysler 105 Conquer boat I pickup for $150 this spring. One of the reasons the guy was selling it cheap is the bottom two cylinders are cracked on the 105. So will need another block or part it out and put something else on it. Looked for the serial number plate inside...

    Flooding Rochester 4ME

    Don't think the tip is missing, my thought is it was made that way, and it should shut the fuel off, so long as the seat has a larger hole then the needle. Recheck your float setting, it is adjusted by bending the tang

    Mercruiser 4.3 262 Magnum EFI Gen + Won't Start

    Fuel line 16 is the main line feeding the throttle body, so I agree how could you get 38 psi at the TB and have no fuel in the line. Check the fuses for the injectors, there are two

    Does anyone make this part for a 72 Merc I/O anymore?

    Your not going to find that switch, and if you do it probably doesn't work. The switch is normally closed, so if yours are still there you might be able to rig something up, but other then that I would just forget it. Your setup being that old you could also upgrade (big bucks), but I know...
