    Quadrajet Accelerator Pump Rod in Rebuild Kit

    The last time I bought a rebuild kit for my 17084516 Rochester Quadrajet (Quicksilver 823426A1) the pump rod was too long. I can only find one supplier (Quadrajet Parts.com rebuild kit part 4017) that has the shorter pump rod. Does any other supplier offer the rebuild kit with the proper pump...

    87 4.3 distributor cap electrode

    Does the center electrode in the distributor cap protrude slightly? Mine is flush to the cap. I thought they were on a spring and could be moved in and out slightly. I'm troubleshooting erratic rpm at any speed.

    Having problems pumping fuel up to the carburetor. Replaced the bulb and line connectors but it won't pump past the pump assembly. I took the pump off and opened it so I'm not certain I have the layers assembled properly. The parts diagram on Evinrude is no help. Does anyone have a detailed...

    1987 4.3 litre not warming up

    This engine will not warm up even when run at 4000 rpm under load. It does get warmer but cools off when slowing down. I thought something might be stuck in the thermostat preventing it from closing so I had a look. There are rust flakes from the housing but nothing in the gap. How much of a gap...

    1987 4.3 litre intermittent rev increase

    My engine revs increase intermittently under load at any throttle setting. It seems the power is low most of the time and is normal when it revs up. Plugs are uniformly normal, new gas in the tank. Could an old water separator cause this? Any troubleshooting suggestions?

    96 Mastercraft Prostar 190, poor fuel delivery

    Boat starts and idles out fine but stumbles when trying to accelerate. You can see the cone shape of the fuel injecting in the throttle body weakens and changes shape as the throttle is opened. The cone gets smaller as you open the throttle. It's had two new fuel filters. The fuel pressure...

    2005 Yamaha 60hp won't tilt down

    First of all, why can't we search a particular forum? My neighbor's motor was tilted up at the dock and now it won't go down although the pump runs. Others have recommended tapping the cylinder and it worked once before. Is this is a sign of air blockage?

    87 4.3 Merc outdrive pinging

    Started up my boat for the first time since winterizing and it has a pinging sound from the outdrive. Initially I thought it was the exhaust flaps before the system filled with water but it continues and speeds up with the rpm. It pings in neutral and in forward and reverse. I pulled the...

    70's Evinrude 9.5, Starter split pin fell out of starter gear

    The split pin in the starter gear kept working its way out and I was afraid it would fall out so I pulled it out to open it up a bit and the recoil spring lost its setting. Do I just need to pull out the cord then turn the vertical shaft a number of times before putting the split pin back in?

    When I replaced the ignition the throttle linkage was disturbed and the engagement with the gear on the tiller handle shaft was changed.

    Recently purchased this engine after having saw it run. It was difficult to start and didn't run again after it stalled.
