    Kohler 5E Generator crank/no start K2/3 lit up

    My 4K kohler was a bear to start if it had sit for a good while. Installed a momentary ON switch to the fuel pump, this way I could run the FP before I tried to start. Buddy has a 5K gas kohler and it has a preheat switch and will not start unless the switch is held in. Yours not having one...

    No power to fuel pump and coil pack fuses on 2.5 efi outboard

    Merc uses a main power relay (MPR) to power up the others. The MPR is energized by a ground being applied from the ECM. Not knowing which 2.5 you have the pic is an example.

    Sorry I should have looked more then just the error. Still think it's the CKP but may also have an issue with the distributor cap. The flat cap is what most folks call "crap cap" because they can look great and fail Best to keep one in the boat because there is no warning when they fail

    Volvo penta 5.0gxi 3869255

    Finding code 81 is 5V reference low on the Crankshaft Position Sensor (CKP). Suggest measure the 5V reference with turn the key on and engine off See if it's actually 5V and not less than 5. Doing it this way will not set another code Disconnect the CKP and see if 5V reference comes back up.

    2002 5,7 Mercruiser exhaust manifold keeps cracking - 5 times this summer

    Looks to me all the intakes are recessed further then the exhaust, and that could be normal due to valve lift. Intake lift is greater then exhaust

    Raw water pump 7.4 454

    Not really, spacers just raise the amount of water higher, its still close the the exhaust exit point. Need to get the water further away from the motor so it doesn't get sucked back in Raising helps but its getting it further way is the main course. I had a 530hp 502 and used Eddie Marine...
