    Good morning everyone, I lost internet over the weekend, but back up and online again today. We pulled the impeller and it was complete, but well curved and obviously overdue for replacement. We are working on replacing the thermostat and fuel pump now. I will update again soon. Thank you...

    82 Johnson 15hp wont start after run

    It was pumping water, we ran it across the lake and observed it not starting after shutoff, and didn't see any signs of a poor pee stream. The owner didn't say anything about replacing the impeller, we will pull it and replace. Maybe the thermostat is sticking and running hot? but when it...

    82 Johnson 15hp wont start after run

    Good morning. We are working on an 82 15 hp Johnson model number E15RCNC. This motor has maybe up to 100 hours on it. It was left in a box for the first 35 years since 82 and never opened. Then put on a boat a few years ago. It ran well for a season, but now it will still start right up on a...

    94 Volvo Penta duo pro C drive yoke

    Good morning again. In looking at different yokes on ebay/ other sights, some have universal joints with clips on the inside of the cups vs mine that has them on the outside. Does that make a difference? they appear the same length and diameter as what I have. Also, some have a more...

    94 Volvo Penta duo pro C drive yoke

    In doing some more research, I found that there are yokes with female 10 spline, and those with 26 on the female side. The ones from the 94 dp drive that I have are the fine spline 26. The 270 drive that i have also has the fine spline. thank you again for any help in clarifying what the...

    94 Volvo Penta duo pro C drive yoke

    Good afternoon, Working on a 94 regal with twin 4.3 Volvo Penta old style Duo props. I think they are C drives and not the 290’s. The bellows were shot and both drives had water in them when pulled. The yokes look terrible, (however, the universals feel very good). Pressure tested the...

    2000 MERCRUISER TBI 5.7 injectors quit at idle

    Update... New injectors came in yesterday. We installed them and immediately saw that the fuel pattern and pulse was much less than with the other injectors. After a few minutes of running the richness and excessive smoke all went away, and engine idled happily around 700 rpm. Took the...

    2000 MERCRUISER TBI 5.7 injectors quit at idle

    Good morning, I called the PO and had a good fact finding discussion. He said old injectors were not flowing well and dripping, so he picked up a set of injectors from orielly's at $55 a piece. He did say that these injectors cross referenced to the mercruiser numbers so he thought he was...

    2000 MERCRUISER TBI 5.7 injectors quit at idle

    todays update, compression test on all cylinders. 175-180 on all. I had done a lot of reading on how a blown head gasket could cause loss of vacuum and cause the motor to run rich, but in this case not the issue. ( also - no popping trough the carb or exhaust or stumbling at revs that a...

    2000 MERCRUISER TBI 5.7 injectors quit at idle

    Follow up., you were spot on correct on the alt. with a load tester reader on the battery, the voltage would put out 12. 13, then back to 11. I switched the alt out with a known good one and it went right to 14.3 v charging at anything over 1000 rpm and avg 13.2 at an idle. This immediately...
