    Dead injector?

    I bought oem reman injectors. I'll send mine out to get cleaned and flow tested. I would up seeing rust in the regulator housing so I'm not sure how bad everything is. I blew it out as best i could but the lines are NLA and unless I'm taking one from a junkyard, spending 500 on a used set...

    Dead injector?

    Injectors all ohm'd between 12.3 and 12.5 Power and pulse to all wire. Pulled the rail and got 1 bank off so far. Injectors are all heavily clogged. Rail doesn't have any pieces in it. Do I need to worry about the new injectors clogging or do you think the rust was a combo from sitting for so...

    1999 7.4L mercruiser fuel pressure regulator crossover part?

    Interesting that doesn't cross reference to Delphi fp10021. That pr223 regulator I can't see as compatible with the l29 on any website?

    1999 7.4L mercruiser fuel pressure regulator crossover part?

    I think the current problem is a clogged injector. But if I had to replace the fuel pump, anti-siphon and pickup, and now fix the injector....for 50 dollars im going to do the fpr while the plenum is off since all my fuel components seem to have issues. If it doesn't interchange and it's a $400...

    Dead injector?

    Usually i don't either. However it did sit for 3 years. I replaced the fuel line, fuel filter, anti siphon and pickup, fuel pump and regulator after siphoning the tank and only getting 14 psi at idle with the old pump. Now I get 34-36 at idle. Vacuum is a touch low to me at 14", but seeing...

    Dead injector?

    So here's the deal. I bought a project 1999 searay 230br. Got it running decent after a bit of back and forth. I still have an issue with it not revving over 3600 rpm under load. I replaced cap/rotor/coil/plugs and wires last season. Set base timing with a techmate. Had to replace the fuel...

    Good evening all, 23' bowrider with a 7.4 (L29) engine and bravo 3 drive. Bought and been fixing this past winter, finally got it running we'll enough to use. Been having issues with only getting 3400rpm and 34mph out of it. My biggest gripe though.... pulling skiers up. It just doesn't have...

    changing out shifter 7.4 l29

    So I've been having an issue with my bravo 3 wanting to shift in and out if gear hard. Originally thought it was just the cables but it seems I have a bit of play in the shifter and binding right at the assembly. I then read the shifter from that time is pretty much junk (quicksilver 3000) and...

    7.4 L29 idler/tensioner grenaded, issues?

    Got the tensioner today. Going to be replacing it. Manual says 1/4" play in the belt. How hard should I be pressing on the belt to get that allay set? Also, could it have grenaded cause it a pully isn't in line or centered? I noticed a small amount of rubber slung against the (non pully side)...
