I'm referring to the aluminum cylinder with the SAE sticker on it. Ken

Could some tell me what this is, pls. Goes from fuel pump to carb. 1996 4.3lt carb

It did backfire throught the carbs when I pushed the handle all the way down. Ken

Will doo. Thx Ken

Are we thinkin' head gasket? Ken

I used starter fluid to see if it would fire. It did not. At any rate, the spray smells like starter fluid. I'll try again later.

Hey guys and Gals, My buddy says this boat was running pulling tubers. Shut it off and to load kids. Hard restart, then died shortly after. Towed back to dock. Timing chain seems good. Crank moves about 3 degrees while turning crank by hand before rotor moves Have fuel....seen squirt into...

Yep. Backed it out and it dropped into the bilge. Adapter and the oil filter plate. Thanks, Ken

Got it guys. Thanks for all your input!

I ran the engine to operating temp before attempting to remove the filter. I have removed many filters in the past and have not encountered one this stuck on. Would be nice if it was that simple. Ken

I read that is an option. Your the first person to suggest this. Is this a thing? This is not my boat and I don't want to damage anything. Does that nipple that the filter threads onto back out of there?

Thanks for you response. I was attempting that, but the holes are on angle or bevel, and won't accept the pins, not flat like the OE filter. Ken

Havent tried that one yet. Not sure what to grab. The outer shell, which there isn't very much left, will just rip. The rest of it is firmly attached to the block. I'll see if I can get ahold of something. Thx, Ken

Was not corrosion. Was that mercuiser silicone stuff, i believe. Ken

Hey Guys and Gals. I started a new user name because I couldn't get access to my old one because I forgot my password. My email has changed and the old one doesn't work any more. Was wondering if it is possible to combine all my posts to this user name.

Mornin' Guys and Gals. I have been fighting with this oil filter for 2 days. The engine in question is a 2012 4.3 Mercruiser. Have it ripped down to the plate and can't get it to budge. I have search through forum and the entire internet for ideas on how to get this thing off. I'm ready to...

Mercruiser #18 Service Manual. I usually use Dielectric grease as well. When I removed this wire from the coil, it was glued in there pretty good. I've never seen that before. figure that was still factory installation. Thanks, Ken

Thanks Mike for your response. The manual calls for "1/2 oz insulating compound". Not sure what that is.

Hey Guys and Gals, quick question. I am working on a 2012 Larsen with a 4.3 Mercruiser. Changing wires and plugs and the coil wire was glued in. Had to rip it out and left a bunch of that material in the coil. Was going to clean it out and the book says to apply some insulating material in...

Thanks again for all your help. Got the ring in, and the exhaust bellows was a bit difficult. All done that part, now off to hook the cable up and adjust. Thanks again, Ken
