What is the fuel pressure at idle and...

    Something you could try, is swap sensors and see if fault moves to other side

    1991 pcm nautique not able to crank after major flooding from carb

    They may not know what is causing it I bought a D3 dozer and it would only crank over slowly some years back, turned over slowly. I thought maybe new starter and such. To shorten the long story, I pulled the valve cover and saw rust. Ok, learned something but motor runs good now after I rebuilt it

    Mercruiser 3.0 140 dying out

    When shifting it might be the shift interrupter on the shift plate. The interrupter is used when coming out of gear to neutral. The dying issue right now appears to be more fuel so I would fix that first before adjusting shift, might just induce another problem.

    Code spn 3217 fmi 5

    Yes, that motor has Cat's The code numbers are for the most part standard based on engine type, based on my research. Example automotive code XXXX is the same across the auto industry. You have a GXI but didn't say anything after that. Have a VP manual listing codes for a GXI-F and it doesn't...

    1991 pcm nautique not able to crank after major flooding from carb

    Fuel would not cause what your seeing Looks like a weak starter or bad battery cables or rust. A motor will not do what this one is doing without a major problem. Just because someone says it, doesn't mean its the truth. My guess is it wasn't winterized correctly last winter and water got in...

    2007 Hurricane GS194 Issues

    Depends on the pump and how you want to wire it This one also has high water alarm with additional float. So if not using high water just one single pole single throw (SPST) switch will turn pump on manually. To put on auto just turn switch off This one is a self contained where float and...

    Either brand new starter is bad, or something is rusted up. Start easy with pulling a valve cover, then the head based on what you find

    Starter won't turn over. New starter, new battery, fuel pump runs w/ key on 1999 Chaparral 2130 SS

    The kill switch removes all power coming from the key If it was tripped then nothing at helm would work. The boat means nothing when trying to fix the motor. Which motor do you have?

    Mercruiser 3.0 140 dying out

    Sound like fuel system, running out of fuel. Remove fuel line and place into a container, then crank motor to see if you get a good stream of fuel pulsing Place container under fuel pump and remove filter. Is there anything but clean gas? What does filter look like?

    Starter won't turn over. New starter, new battery, fuel pump runs w/ key on 1999 Chaparral 2130 SS

    Welcome There are a couple things that will keep the motor from cranking. The neutral safety switch and the assist relay Turn key to start and hold, while in start move shifter forward and reverse slightly. Don't move it enough so it goes into gear, just trying to find out if its neutral safety...
