Re: Stater/Solonoide Problems???

Oh no, <br />No water got in I did not notice but the throttle got pushed all the way down and I did not notice so I tryed to start it and it would not start. I meant it got flooded with fuel. Also I though what you thought about maybe it was trying to start so I took the wire from the distributer to the coil of and it still disingages. I am going to buy a new starter. <br /><br />Thanks Very Much JB, Skiph, Bondo, Fishermark, DHPMARINE, and Denis B.<br /><br />Ben Hunter

Hey Ben,, I used to live in Xenia for 18 years. Tornado got me. I never got a chance to use the new lakje because it was still under construction when I left. Still have kids and grandkids there. Good luck with your starter problem. Bill in TN

Replace the starter, that will fix the problem.<br /><br />Rudy

My starter did the same. After an intensive use started to make a noise and disengaged. The problem is that the metallic reduction gears run into a plastic exterior gear whose teeth got broken. I could not find any replacement part so I had to buy a new one.<br /><br />I learned a lesson: If you use the starter for more than 30 seconds, let it cool for about five minutes before trying again. If not, you burn it and you have to buy a new one.

Re: Stater/Solonoide Problems???

LOL Thanks Bondo.<br /><br />Also one last question for you. If I put a 4 bbl Holley Marine Carb on my 3.0 OMC would that add any HP or just over carburate it? Or is there a such a thing as over Carburation.<br /><br />Thanks Very Much Bondo,<br />Ben Hunter

[I learned a lesson: If you use the starter for more than 30 seconds, let it cool for about five minutes before trying again. If not, you burn it and you have to buy a new one. [/QB][/quote]<br />I would say more like 5 seconds, then a 30 second cool. 30 seconds way to long. And best to find WHY it won't fire right up first. A engine that won't start is not the starters fault!

Yes.........<br />A 4bbl on a 3.0l Would Diffintely be Over Carbed.........

Re: Stater/Solonoide Problems???

Ok thanks for the advice guys. I am going to get a starter now. LOL sorry for making this a never ending post but just one last thing. I I took the cylinder head off and took it to a machine shop and got some material machined off would that give me any more HP?<br />Thanks,<br />Ben

Re: Stater/Solonoide Problems???

Like for higher compresion?

 

[DHPMARINE]

Re: Stater/Solonoide Problems???

Higher compression will get you more torque and horsepower,but you will still be running a marine engine on automotive fuel.<br />Boats run under heavy loads,idle to full sustained throttle.And stay there.<br />Pump gas is designed for your car.Try keeping your car at full throttle for the length of your lake.(hope you don't live on a river.)The idea is good,but for us average guys,it won't follow thru.<br />DHP

Sorry for taking so long to add an update. I got a new starter and at Napa for like $37.00. I have taken the boat out 5 times since and it cranks over like a new boat. Thanks Bondo and everyone else!<br /><br />Thanks Again,<br />Ben Hunter
