    Transom Leak Help

    2000 Larson 186Lxi w/ Volvo SX Well I'm back after a few trouble-free seasons. :) There I was cruising along about 20mph minding my own business and suddenly we all lurch forward with the boat slowing rapidly. I looked back and saw the mud trail and immediately cut throttle and raised the...

    Backfiring out of Carburetor

    '99 4.3GL PWTR The timing is set and is dead on. Boat runs excellent, except when I accelerate sharply then it pops or backfires out of the carburetor. Rebuilt carb and it is doing the same thing after the rebuild. If I run it up slowly and wait for the ICM to advance the timing at 2500 RPMS...

    Making a boat cover

    I must make a cover for my boat as I really need my garage back. Boat is taking up both stalls in the garage atm. Will use the old Singer 15-91 that WOG talked me into buying last summer for my Larson interior project. Certainly think it is up to the task. Machine did one heck of a job on the...

    Timing Question

    With the engine running I connect the +12v wire from the shunt and the timing does not change at all based on ear and the location of the mark on the harmonic balancer. I set timing to the only notch on the timing chain cover w/shunt connected to +12v. Motor bump starts, but pops when I rev it...

    Setting Timing 4.3GL-PWTR

    I have a '99 Year Model in my 2000 Larson. Rebuilt engine last year and tried to set the timing. When I hooked the shunt to 12V the engine did not change RPMs in the slightest and I was never able to get the timing marks to line up while engine was idling. Tried hooking up before and after the...

    Fresh/Seawater Water Impeller Kit

    I have a 2000 Larson with the 4.3GL-PWTR (believe this is a '99 engine). Went to boatinfo.no and downloaded all of the related manuals. Not entirely certain the manuals are correct for this engine. Manual does not properly depict what I have exactly. When I removed the two hoses and the bracket...

    Oil Change '00 4.3GL-Pic

    I pumped all of the oil out, but I just don't think I got it all. This is the first oil change since the engine rebuild last summer. Just want to make sure I am doing this correctly. Idled engine for about 10 minutes to think the oil first. Any suggestions or is this correct? Thanks.

Connected timing light with clamp on no.1 plug wire (P-side front cylinder); 3. I started the engine; 4...

    Holley Carb Fitting Behind Elec Choke?

    Not sure what is supposed to go on the brass fitting just to the left of the choke in the image. This port is sucking a bit of air when I place my finger over the orifice. I don't notice any change in idle smoothness. Runs great from ilde to WOT. Thanks for any help.

    4.3GL Fuel Pump Problem

    Having some problems with a fuel pump (bench tested good) that I was hoping I could run by some of you. The boat is a 2000 Larson and the PO chopped the fuel pump wires and rigged up something to make it work. I would prefer to correct this. I have studied the 4.3GL-A wiring schematics, which...

    Identifying Engine

    I am confused. The "4.3GLPWTR" on the plastic piece over the fuel pump is coming up for 1998-1999 and my boat is a 2000. Another thing,when I look up parts for the same engine it shows a throttle body and the boat actually has a carburetor (Holley). The engine that I just pulled is a Jasper...
