    Black Scorpion Mag Mpi fuel pressure

    That inside the fuel tank? Fuel pickup tube in gas tank delaminated? Was the fitting blocked too at all? Some low psi pumps have a screen in the front side of them that could collect debris so if the issue continues you may need to inspect that area too but seems less likely at this point as you...

    What year model is my mercruiser 3.0?

    0F880027 seems to come up as an 1996 3.0LX [ALPHA] Model number 430L100JS. To find parts always use the serail number of anyone of those three depending on what you're looking for as the year doesn't mean as much such as your example. Here's a parts guide for your engine model...

    Hesitation/RPM Hunting on 496 Mag HO

    Maybe run the engine at night and look for a light show under the brackets/bolts, by the valve covers, etc. from the spark plug wires as these engines tend to that from bad wires leaking spark. If you didn't have the injectors removed and professionally cleaned and evaluated from the paint...

    Black Scorpion Mag Mpi fuel pressure

    You're in spec for now... If possible, go run the boat with the fuel gauge connected ... Also suggest bringing an external fuel tank and fuel hose to bypass the boat tank and see if it runs normal...Also open the boat fuel filler cap to vent the boat tank to see if it helps any...50/50% chance...

    Black Scorpion Mag Mpi fuel pressure

    Lets go back, What is/does the PSI do when you remove the vacuum line at idle? You're at 26 right now so it ought to jump up to 30ish psi spec when you remove the line...Need to recheck that test. Next this is where you'd need to be in the water with the fuel tester gauge connected to see if...

    Black Scorpion Mag Mpi fuel pressure

    At idle is fine for testing too while some service manual recommends checking the psi at 1800 rpm under load too <in which is the better thing to do depending on issue type. When all is working normal the fuel pressure should go up to the regulator specification when you remove the vacuum line...

    2005 Chris Craft with 2 impellers overheating

    Generally yes for block offs and through hull but it depends on who and how they set it up as I have seen both before. This is more of one of those you don’t know until you physically see it typed deals.

    Mercrsuiser 185HP, Unkown Serial No.

    While it could be considered a 50/50 split of changing it out need wise, one thing would be for sure is you don't really want the old one (or new one too) to fall down as that could cause issues too in some cases. While Volvo penta has gone away of using them, you have a mercruiser so it might...
