Ordered a cheap ignition module from Amazon to check to make sure before I bought the OEM one. Turns out it was the distributor ignition module, boat starts up. Have brand new batteries in there now, reinstalled the 90 amp fuse, connected everything, now I'm going to have to check to make sure...
Well, I hooked eveyback up as I took it off. Now I get power to my key and can crank it. But now it won't start. You can see that there is no fuel coming out and getting the TBI blades. I will check tomorrow with starting fluid. If it doesn't crank up, then I believe my ECM is fried. The 3 fuses...
Mine is different. I have the Bat cable to starter post. Orange and solid red on same terminal crimp connected to 90amp fuse. Yellow/red to terminal closet to engine. Orange wire goes to alt. Solid red goes to 50amp push fuse. Opposite side of 50amp push fuse is a red/purple strip wire. My alt...
Took the boat out over the weekend. When I was getting to my destination the boat just suddenly stopped. Got it towed back in and back home no issues. Started feeling around the starter and I felt some burnt wires. Took off the riser and the manifold and sure enough the main positive cable was...
I have a 2000 5.7 FWC w/800 hours. Most of it life was fresh water then it came down to S.FLA. Dont know how much time it was down here but it was a single owner boat and well taken care of. The only issue was that 2 spark plugs had rusted away and the heads had to be taken off. Did both heads...
Imbedded, as in molded with the bellow rubber? I just removed my bellow and no idea if it's OEM or aftermarket, but the spring was just in there. I was able to pull it out. The new Sierra bellow I have is also this way.
I am currently dealing with Bravoitis and while I am in there, I am also...
I had a similar problem. I took it out, ran perfect. Got to my destination and about 30min later decided to leave. Crank but no start. Let it sit for about an hour and started right up. I posted on here about my FP issues and I came to the conclusion that it was vapor lock in the fuel line. My...
Are you talking about where the hose enters the transom plate? If so, yes the hose is at the top of the transom plate. I am not comfortable with the movement I have. I will be removing the hose and building it up with Belzona Super Metal. This way, when re-installing the pipe and rubber grommet...
I am not talking about where the rubber and the plastic attach. I am talking about the plastic piece that goes into the transom assembly that has the rubber insert that goes over it. the one you have to put soap on to be able to slide it into the hole.
The entire hose that goes into the transom bracket. The hose is connected to the plastic piece so basically the plastic piece that's in the transom assembly moves in and out.
So, thanks to the help on here I was able to find my overheat issue. It was Bravoitis. Ordered the Mercury kit and just got through doing it. Now here's my next issue, I believe. Where the hose comes int the bottom on the transom plate, well, that hole was pretty corroded and I removed a lot of...
Well, you guys called it. Bravoltis, it is. Got home today and took off the inner fitting and it is almost all closed up. Guess I will be ordering the kit to fit it.
Are you saying those numbers are high for a 2000 TBI 350 w/vortec heads? Right after I wrote this I googled what the comp should be and most where saying 180+. It is a normal comp gauge, nothing fancy, it's an Accutron. Also, since it's with in range I should move on to the water pick up side.
@alldodge the compression test. Starting at number 1. 190-175-175-180. Now cyl 3&5 where half way between 175/180, I just went with the lesser. Cyl 2-4-6-8 all 190.
