    E150DCXSCR 2008 150hp

    So, the engine that started and idled so nicely but wouldn’t ramp up above idle, wasn’t broken after all. I called the individual I bought it from, I mentioned the issue, and he said. “If the throttle at idle isn’t truly at idle, the engine will ignore any effort to accelerate” So at start up...

    E150DCXSCR 2008 150hp

    I purged the oil, I followed all procedures. My biggest mistake was buying the engine from a company on eBay, this guy had a good score and sold hundreds of engines. BUT. 1st he sent counterrotation not standard, then he sent correct lower unit to replace, waited 6 weeks for that, he forgot me...

    Yes, as mentioned in my manifesto the cables are working correctly, the throttle follows the joystick up to maximum. I’m 99% certain that the throttle position sensor has failed.

    That’s why I’m asking questions, I don’t know how this 2 cycle motor works. I ordered manuals, I do not intend to start it until I know for certain. There is a boat repair shop 10 miles away. I’m going to call them tomorrow, Thanks.

    E150DCXSCR 2008 150hp

    I know how 2 cycles work, I know the engine crankcase hasn’t a need for oil, I know not to mix oil in the gas tank. Was impressed with fact that the oil/gas is mixed automatically. I just was wondering where the oil goes. Thanks! Mistakes are expensive!

    What’s a good part number for aluminum intake manifold? Is there really a marine intake. The heads require 12 bolts. I see several that look just like the cast iron marine manifold I currently have. Currently looking at Edelbrock 2040

    Standard Rotation, car engines and who’s who in a boat

    This is hopefully correct, please feel free to step in. Rotation is viewed from the back of the engine looking forward. Single engine boats are standard rotation, left hand, counterclockwise, just like a car. So the left or port engine (Twin Engine Boat) is standard rotation, left hand rotation...

    I got a new transom lock, you got a brand new key?

    When I bought my boat from the dealer, he recommended a transom lock. He installed the lock, never gave me the key, I've asked several times until finally he said I must pay to have it removed. I have a welder, MacGyver, you got any tried and true methods?
