    Fuel Regulator cross ref or sub numbers

    I don't believe you are looking up a 892267A50. If it crosses and you find one get back with where you found. I'll pay top dollar because every Merc dealer I've called said mid July. If you try to order non oem ( which I'm fine with) on a different site I can guarantee when you go to check out...

    Bogs of idle won't plane

    motor 2010, 60hp 4stroke efi sn#1C113678, is hesitating bad at throttle up. No power and dies if you bring rpm from high 5000 to idle. 1st pump holds 5-6 psi constant, high pressure pump only holds 30 psi constantly. I'm suspecting dirt in svt screens, pump or weak fuel regulator. My big...
