    Merc 5.7 Hiccup

    I need some help from the group, I have a carbed 5.7, I recently did a bunch of maintenance because it was running like trash (carb rebuild, plugs, wires, rotor, sensor in dizzy). It has a thunderbolt V in it. It is running very smooth other than a little hiccup, for lack of a better term. When...

    Should I pull heads for inspection, 5.7 liter

    Scott, can you give me some help and explain how to get each cylinder in the proper position for a leak down test? The first set is easy by using the mark on the harmonic balancer, after that I know it is 90 degrees but that can be tough to eyeball. Any suggestions or tips for achieving this? In...

    what ignition system

    I did go through the troubleshooting chart but I think I may have made a bad assumption. I got to the step of spark testing the coil and made the assumption it was good because I got spark. Now looking at it again it appears I need to revisit it because it says to replace the sensor. I will run...

    Mercruiser 350 carb

    So I took it back off and I am going to soak it again. I do have a question, the sealing washer under the center screw of the Ventura does not seem to have made it. Does anyone know if I can get a washer like this from the auto parts store.

    Mercruiser 350 carb

    It is a 2 barrel mercarb, yes I took it fully apart except for the choke housing. I could not get the housing screws out so I left that alone. I took the choke spring off and let the rest. Soaked, cleaned, blew it all out, and put back together. I am going to soak it again, maybe a passage was...

    Mercruiser 350 carb

    Good morning all, I need some help, I have a mercruiser 350 2 barrel carb engine. I attempted to rebuild the carb because it was dumping fuel at idle. The boat ran really rough, before I when I initially found the fuel dumping. Fast forward, now the boat has a tough time starting and is...
