It has crossed my mind.. once the season’s over

would this be a possible bolt to remove and put the gauge into ?

and I’m only starting..!

sounds like a good idea to have the blower running then👍

Thanks Scott! So I just remove the flame arrester and wave the unlit ! gas torch above the carb !?

From what I’ve seen, the best way to adjust the Idle mixture is to hook up a vacuum gauge and find the highest stable reading - looks easy enough .. only .. where do I connect the gauge on my 5.7l Mercarb engine???? TiA

thanks for being cheeky😀 will do asap!

will try that!

indeed carb, but flow sensor is nmea2000 placed near tank.. however I just learned from another forum that my mechanical fuel pump is hard to get a stable flowreading from at lower rpms.. and that a “ Pulsation damper” might cure that…

indeed true , however I have some distance of no wake/ max 8 knots before I can go to planing speed..

fuel flow..

Hello & Thanks, I guess that means ; 4-5 mph while In forward gear idle !? Any idea what might be causing unusually high fuel consumption /flow readings (Garmin flow sensor) during low speed 6-7 knots ? Flow can vary anything between 1 L/nm to 18L /nm … at cruising speed 22-23 knots , it...

seems as adjusting the idle screw did improve the performance, went out on the water today and had no issues with dying engine while shifting, made docking a bit more relaxed..

Hi again, I disconnected the Shift Assist plunger and took the boat for a testdrive, I repeatedly went in and out of gear trying to be firm when shifting (as I previously might have been doing it a bit hesitantly during eg. docking situations). Still; once every other time the engine died...

I believe the switch is working as it do cut out the engine, unfortunately also when it´s not supposed to..

Disconnected the cable today , I could pull/ push it with two fingers without feeling much resistance..

I'm quite sure the switch itself is working as it do cut out the ignition - only at wrong occasions randomly.. did lube the pivot points acc. to #14 service manual

Thanks , yes in water but also IN Gear ?!

Aha, interesting - Now that I see you write it I do recall this is mentioned in some older thread ! Will try to remove the shift assist as a first step. I´v just had the boat in the water for the season - not keen on having to land it on the dry for a new cable, before season over.. no way...

Thanks - indeed old boat but new to me so I´m not sure what has been replaced over the years .. Was the Plunger type shift switch introduced already 97 or is it of later date !?
