Hi Im having trouble with my 1980 2.5L 4 Cyl. OMC Inboard,<br />where to begin...<br />first thing is when I go to use the stern tilt I just get a clicking sound coming from the cylonoids on the tilt motor the leg won't go up or down unless you tap on the cylonoids and even then it will only go up. <br /><br />Second problem the water pump isnt sucking enough water in and the engine is hitting 180 to aprox. 200 on the temp guage. The water pump is also making a squeaking or squealing sort of noise when the boat is running.<br /><br />Third Problem is the boat wont steer in a straight line unless your going half throttle. <br /><br />Fourth and final is it stalls out when you go to put it in gear or if you put it to 1/2 - full throttle but doesn't when put into reverse. I think that last one is the fuel pump albeit the filters need replacing, I ran it without them and there was little difference, it does however idle irradically almost as though it isnt getting enough fuel.<br /><br />Engine Inboard<br />1980 OMC<br />2.5L 4 Cylinder<br />140 horse<br /><br />Boat <br />17' 1980 Vanguard<br />OMC Throttle<br />Open Bow<br /><br />PS. a note about the engine...it isn't fuel injected which is prob stating the obvious and there is no electronic ignition just the old standard ignition.
