Please note that the PICTURE UPLOAD function is not working. The iBoats Forum Moderators are working with the system administration folks at the parent company to get the issue resolved. This happened about a year ago and here we are again. In the meantime you can post photos as links to a picture hosting site of your choice. We are sorry about the inconvenience and will advise when the issue is resolved. Thank you for your patience.
OMC #313080. Sierra # 18-2767 is what you need.
With some liquid soap or KY the boot can go over the drive, just remove the trim tab exhaust outlet which helps.
Try with a test light or volt meter connected to the + of the coil and spin the engine, there should be full battery voltage in cranking mode only at this point. Also on the distributor side of the coil disconnect the wires and just reconnect the wire that goes to the distributor. If the...
You may have a marine distributor. You probably have a Prestolite distributor. If that is what you have points and the condenser are the same as Chrysler parts before they changed to electronic ignition.
Also if the distributor does not have a vacuum advance on the side then it should be a...
That skin stuff you saw is common in older fuel systems. Sometimes it looks like very fine hair. The screen in the suction tube has to come out. The crazy part is if the gas in the filter tube is dried out you will be able to blow through it with your mouth, but with gas it will cause a...
Set me straight here, did you place the large flat washer over the studs then placed the engine on top of them? I hope not but if you did that then that is the problem.
I guess that since you have experience with Mercruisers you know how to swivel around the alinement bar inside the gimbal bearing. With the engine raised enough try completely removing the adjustable engine mounts to give more range of movement that may allow the alignment bar to engage the...
Remove the spark plugs, disconnect the hose on the thermostat that leads to the manifold. Put the male end of your garden hose inside the hose turn the water on and let the water flow through the manifold. Spin the engine with the starter a few times, if the manifold is leaking water will...
It will not be compatable with a V6 or V8 application. It will work with a 2.5 and a 3.0 as well as the style engine you have.
The main difference is the centering boss that protrudes where the driveshaft comes through and centers in the inner plate.
Try using an engine hoist attached to the front of the engine and the front mounts with the nuts bottomed out. Then raising and lowering the engine while to get the alignment bar to engage the splines. I feel your pain as I have had a few that really tested my patience.
If you do not have an...
Where the fuel line is attached to the tank there is a fitting with with a check ball this is the anti siphon valve.
Also a good time to unscrew the main fitting with the suction tube. Inside the tube there is usually a very fine mesh filter which needs to be removed and blown out, it is...
You should have changed the gimbal bearing. If water got into the joints it is in the bearing also. There is a good chance water is in the drive unit also
