    How to get old transom ports out/replaced/fixed.

    Many bilge pumps are just not accessible without removing the motor and looks like yours is also one of them. Get a piece of flat aluminum stock from the hardware store. Mount the new pump to one end then slide new pump next to old one. Bend the aluminum in a way so you can fasten it to a...

    Volvo Penta VST problems

    Maybe it's a choice of words but the float doesn't tell the low pressure pump, it simply opens and lets more fuel in. Depending on which GSI you have the LP pump can be as low as 2 psi to as high as 12 psi and still work. The pump being 9-13 is great pressure. The VST is like a carb float...

    Mercruiser 5.7mpi horizon single cylinder burning lean

    I'm still thinking that if it was a vacuum leak then there would be more then the one cylinder. To test use a vacuum gauge and connect with a Tee to the vac line that goes to regulator. Teeing with the Reg is going to be a real small line so may not respond very well

    Mercruiser 5.7mpi horizon single cylinder burning lean

    Another thought, if injector seal is not sealing tight then could be vacuum leak as nola mentioned. The issue is why isn't the leak effecting the nearby plugs (that is the puzzle)

    Mercruiser 5.7mpi horizon single cylinder burning lean

    My guess I think it's running for the most part fine. There is black around the plug and tip is real clean. The injector port is rusty (should not be) so there is moisture getting in some where. There should be no rust on the ports. Might have a small intake gasket leak which is steam cleaning...

    Mercruiser 3.0 cranks but wont start

    Don't know what was buzzing other then the oil pressure switch turning on the buzzer. If it's the alarm buzzer then that's not an issue because it should sound until motor starts. The neutral safety switch is something that can make a good connection and also bad connection, just depends. With...

    Bravo 3 outdrive overhaul - propeller shaft seal questions

    I remember buying a B3 lower reseal kit and it came with the older seals. The kit in your link looks like a B1 kit The B3 lower kit isn't much, and this kit is aftermarket. Unable to find a number for the Merc kit. I might just buy the seals individually.
