The 2BBL isn't an issue but the manifold is, the Mans have different bolt patterns
Assuming you have a mechanical fuel pump so you would need to go electric
Apologies, don't know why I didn't see fuel pressure, still looking for compression
Being a Fi so it's a Ford and your fuel pressure is ok, list between 31-39 psi
Changed title to Fi
Have not tried Turkey hunting, just watching KY Afield they show how it can be so easy and how it can be so hard.
In KY you can hunt Racoon, Ground Hog, Coyote can be hunted year round
I see it all as bad connections.
Most with this kind of issue they clean a connection or two which is good, but need more clean. Look close at the lug and under the insulation jacket. Most forget about the grounds, but they are very important
Not judgemental at all, you rolled the dice and you won, same is if someone decided I'm not going to change the oil in my car/truck and I sold it with 150K miles and it's still running. Yaah you win
Yeeeesss I read that part
You decided that I'm going to watch my gauge and if it changes I'm shutting my motor down no matter where I'm at. So you didn't need to be towed or half to paddle back 100 yards to 5 miles, you win
It's hard to say without more testing.
Your motors are pretty solid runners. It's running hotter and your seeing signs of it, so there is a problem, finding it will be the issue. A compression test should provide most insight but it's not easy to do with a diesel
Does that motor need more or...
The dice were rolled and you won
So after all this time it shows that the pump housing and wear plates are really worn. So your rolling the dice again with parts that need to be replaced IMO
Good luck
Looks like your talking more about the Johnson motor than the boat, I'll move if that is the case.
New to you boat with overheating issues, yes replace the impeller and see if that solves that problem
Yes, but this issue has not been looked at by dealer yet. I'm really thinking all along it was caused by what was installed trying to get VV to fully power down. VV wasn't powering down because Chap didn't rig the boat correctly
Also found out you don't need the special tool to remove or install the ALT belt. 8M0146862 ($55 to $70)
Just cut the belt to remove, and hold the belt with one hand while you rotate the motor using breaker bar. You DO need the special tool to rotate the motor. 8M146861 ($72 to $85)
